    Glass dirty after only 24 hours?

    Hello, This is my glass after only 24 hours. I have needed to clean it everyday. You can see where my turbo snails are helping. What can I do to keep the glass clean longer or what is happening here? Fish and coral seem happy. All parameters are in normal range except Nitrates are around...

    Glad covered tank --> LED

    Hi everyone, Does anyone run successfully a glass covered tank, using clear glass and LED lighting hanging over the glass? I run a tank with little over 4 foot with 3 Kessil A360X and tank is covered with Opti white glass. I have a few SPS but growth is not optimal. I was wondering if this...

    glass scratch removal methods?

    So I have a bunch of very light surface scratches on a glass tank. I've been looking around and it seems that a cerium oxide and water mixture is the best option for removing the scratches. However I tried it and since the scratches are on a vertical surface, it did not work too well, the cerium...

    I think this is algae on my glass... How do I remove?

    Hello fellow saltines, I don't seem to have a problem with algae in my tank but this hard, green stuff has started appearing on my glass. I'm assuming it's algae. I tried scraping it off with an old credit card but it's really stuck on. Do I need something with a sharper edge? Is there another...

    What causes your tank to “clean itself?”

    So in a previous discussion, I was told that sometimes leaving your glass alone rather than constantly cleaning it will clear it up. It did not work for me at first so I went back to cleaning daily, sometimes twice a day. this past week or so I have been busy with college finals, my birthday...

    Acrylic overflow box glued to glass surface

    Hi guys, let me introduce my overflow box :( It's not sealed properly, has gaps on the bottom and also has a kind of "ventilation" holes near the bottom. Because of this level in my overflow box = level in the tank itself. I even can't use Herbie, otherwise my sump will be full immediately. 1...

    Tank with an “algae background”?

    So my 90 gallon reef has been up and running for about two months now, and when it comes to cleaning algae off the glass I really just focus on the front and sides, without touching the back glass (mainly out of my own laziness of having to get back there with a scraper). At this point the back...

    Removing gunk between sand bed and glass??

    How do you go about cleaning the glass below the sand bed? I have always been told “don’t disturb your sand bed, it could wreak havoc on your system”. Well, I have seen some darn good FTS that most definitely do not have this nasty build up between the sand and the glass that I have! I just set...

    Cleaning Tips for Red Sea Reefer Series

    To make it simple, the glass on my Reefer is amazing and I want to keep it looking clean and shiny as new.
