How often do u need to clean your glass?

Every day b/c I’m OCD

before I dosed diy nopox, I had to clean 2-3x each week. And the brownish algae film is quite noticeable. since I started dosing, I do it once a week. I can probably go longer, as the film that builds up is still quite thin and not noticeable after a week. nopox really works. I should have started using it a long time ago and think it should be a standard thing to do with any reef tank, just like dosing alk and ca.

3 to 4 days. I use it to gauge how I'm doing w.r.t. feeding and export. If it starts to stray from those numbers I feed more or skim heavier depending on if I need to clean less or more.

Every 3 or 4 days. Should be every 2 days but work takes alot of my time..

Mine could use a cleaning every 2 days. I don't do it that often though.

I clean mine every time I have the time to do so. Mainly, when I sit and admire the tank and it’s inhabitants, I’ll clean the tank glass. Call me what you will, but my fish/coral appreciate it, I feel (as stupid as that sounds).

I use a Flipper magnet almost everyday.

And a razor once a week for the tough stuff.
