Cleaning algae off glass every week

[Dburr1014]

I just cleaned this last week. How do you keep it from coming back?!

Well you dont, cleaning glass once a week just shows you have a system with good nutrients in it and it is healthy. If you had glass crystal clear every day and never had to clean, you should be worried.

I gave up on the side glass on my reef tank nd just keep the front glass clean.

Are you talking about the coraline algae or referring to normal film algae? I wish I could go a whole week without cleaning glass I need to do it every few days? Anyways healthy system

Coraline, it's a pain. A good pain to have, but still a pain.
Happy reefing

Agree. Once you have enough coralline in your system an urchin will keep it under control.
I scrape coralline dots off my front glass weekly.

My 3 urchins keep my coraline well manicured. I don't get much on the viewing glass. I have to soft wipe my glass every 3 or 4 days and I scrape it once a week.
