How do you keep your tank so clean and free of coral line algae. Your tank is simply amazing!!! Give us your tips
Ancient Chinese Secret....(the older folks will get it) No secret really. Im not sure what picture/post you are refering to...however,usually before I post a pic,I make sure my tank looks EXTRA good. I usually keep it pretty clean to begin with. Lets break it down...almost every day I run the magfloat across the front and sides,every 2 weeks or less(the day before I do a WC) I run the magfloat with the razor attachment on the front and both sides,then I clean the back glass by hand,long and short handle razor. Really it doesnt take much time at all. In this link,I have a video..you can see the coraline growing on the back glass...I didnt clean it prior to my video....so my tank isnt ALWAYS squeeky clean.
huh, i didnt know they had magfloats like that. Ive been keeping coraline off my front and side walls with just a large razor blade. I like the algea on the back wall though(cool background) I do realize that i should cleen it off the back eventually but for now i kind of like it. At one point you could barly see into my tank because of all the algea, with a little help from a razor its now krystal clear, exept a few small sratches on the glass

Mag float with razor blade attachment? I gotta look that up, I need one. Also your sand/substrate looks SO clean.
Thanks

Some people leave it on the back glass,I just like the black background look..personal preference
