Tank Cleaning

[Gary Ellis]

Do you clean the back glass or let it go? Is there any harm in keeping it clean?

I let it go and there’s no harm in keeping it clean. It’s the same exact glass as your front and side panels

Personally I like the back glass covered in coralline algae. Makes it more realistic to me at least. If it’s green and hairy Or brown and ugly take it off.

My tank it still cycling but I'm in the keep it clean category. I clean my glass like every other day so far lol.

Look at the 7th post. Depends if you like the before or after picture better.

Well on my tank my back glass is not starfire glass and my front and side panels are. So not exactly the same but I get the point.

I do my best to keep it clean, but it is not easy compared to the other 3 panels. I think there is room for improvement with the options available as far as hand scrapers go. I'd like to see some whose rods are angled, allowing to get into hard to reach areas with good leverage.

I like the look of it being clean and black. To me it looks new and the corals pop out more. It is harder to reach with the rock back there.

I leave the back I don’t clean it . I want to see the purple looks I’ll attach a picture . However when
I change water I use the siphon Hose to clean the sand .
