Tank Cleaning

[sean_p_f]

i use windex and have no algea problems.. i spray it on a paper towel and then wipe down the glass, and never clean the back that is what my snail army is for.

I spray some widex on a paper towel (away from the tank) and clean the outside front.

I have a FOWLR system, never dosed any calcium and have never done a water change. Tank has been setup since April 2007.

I've never cleaned the inside back of the tank. I used to clean the sides (inside) but for the past few months I have not done so diligently only because the coraline has spread like crazy and I kinda like it. The inside front I clean and scrape every week or so.

This is 9 months worth of coraline growth. My wife won't let me clean it too much from the corners.....she likes the color and effect
