How are your rocks so clean?

I blow my rocks off with a turkey baster a few times a week. My rock is pretty darn clean but if you don’t blow off all the poop and other stuff that settles on the rock it will build up in the crevices and algae will grow.
 
LFS display tanks are always clean and spiffy.

The secret?

They hire a minimum wage employee that all he does is clean the tanks all day.

So yeah, the tank won’t clean itself. Someone has to clean it.
 
Scrub rocks with little brush and than I take an old maxi jet on some pvc tubing and blow out any detritus build up on rocks
 
What about filter socks in the sump. We had dirty rocks until our LFS owner suggested we use filter socks. Have two on each sump and work great! We change once a week and wash them.
