Do yall clean all the glass on your tanks of algae/corline growing on it or do you leave some of it alone. I've pretty much been only cleaning 2 pieces of glass. Im leaving the back alone and one side cause you cant see inside from that side cause its so close to the wall. I cant think of any negativity for doing that but wanna know what yall have to say about it

I only do the sides I can look into the tank from on regular maintenance. I do all sides during a thorough cleanup when all equipment goes out for some scrubbing/cleaning.

Hey xrayjeeper83

I clean every side but the back. Though, a good CUC can usually take care of everything on the glass.

THanks I suck at spelling LOL

What is a CUC? cucumber?

CUC is the abbreviation for Clean Up Crew. CUC's are generally a mix of invertebrates; the most common being composed of true crabs, shrimp, snails, and hermit crabs. Certain species of sea slug can also be part of a good CUC.

OHHHH ok got ya. I have a few hermits, and just added 2 snails but I think one is either dead or dying. It's not moving very much, when I touched it it did move but hasnt done much all day

Gotta add stuff slowly, and try to sneak it by Bacon so she doesnt try to eat it LOL

Turbos work pretty good for the glass, sometime they get stupid and need to be redirected , by moving them where you want them!
