I was interested in seeing some comparisons of people who clean their back glass pane and those who let it just grow over. If you have pictures of either please post!

there's a pic of the back of my reef tank posted here somewhere...under "sometimes my corals amaze me".
I let it grow over, except it doesn't grow over much, since I have snails that take care of it. It's also against a wall, so it doesn't get the direct sunlight the sides get. I do clean the sides every now and again, when the coraline gets too thick, otherwise, I leave it be. I like the "natural" look, too.
However, on my eel tank, I do try to keep the back clean, because the scum is not pretty like it is in the reef.
