What is the average normal time that your glass on your display tank gets dirty?I'm having to clean mine every other day is that normal?

 

[Lionfish Lair]

On the 210g...last month.

My other tanks, 2 weeks ago and 1 week ago.

 

[Chac317]

About once every 10-14 days on a 16 and 40 gal

 

[Flippers4pups]

My 125g needs it once every two weeks.

 

[Kershaw]

I try to do it every Saturday. But it normally goes every other.

Every other day.

 

[p.pep85]

10 to 14 days on my 55 gal. every 2 days on my 30 but theres a few issues in that tank.

 

[AdamD76]

Every other day. I don't use a skimmer.

 

[Nik Buhl]

I clean my glass every 3 or 4 days

 

[Mark Shelly]

About every 3 days. My tank is fairly new (7 months) though and I went through a diatom bloom and then probably a cyanobacteria bloom, but neither is very active now. I also don't have a sump or auto-top-off, but use a hang-on skimmer, filter and weekly water changes.

I am a bit OCD and can always find something to clean off daily! Lol

 

[scottbapilot]

About 3-4 days, I also stir the sand and clean the cup on the skimmer

3-4 days is usually when I start to notice I need to clean it.

 

[Uliulimaka]

I give mine a Quick clean almost every day while feeding. Helps keep it from getting built up!

Yes.
As soon as I can visually notice it I have to clean it.
Why would I want to look through anything but crystal clear glass?

3-4 days here as well, coralline is so annoying.

 

[Bunkinator]

Once a week during the 10% water change. Really only gets algae growth along the sand line, most of the glass can go weeks and stay clean.

 

[Atif]

When I noticed dirt so I clean it...usually weekly.....

 

[Newb_reefer1]

I haven't had to clean my glass in over 2 months.

 

[saltyhog]

4-5 days. It was a lot less when my nitrates were very low but my corals were not as happy.
