Best living glass cleaner

[saltwaterfish.com Verified Sponsor]

From urchins, and blennies, to snails what would you say is the best "organic" glass cleaner in a tank? Obviously the best glass cleaner is razor blade or magnetic scraper, but there are a lot of people who also like to have things that help out in the tank. In my opinion snails do it best. They tend to leave less patchy areas and spend much more time on the glass cleaning it. Urchins and blennies do a good job but you can see where their teeth marks are left on the glass which I personally think is cute.

I second snails, I can see entire patches cleared on my glass where they work, I love my stomatella snails that started as a hitchhiker and bred their way to larger numbers, great little algae eaters

The problem with critter cleaners is it is never clean except where they ate.

I've not found a critter that does anything more than make trails on the glass.

I agree, I want a critter that will stay on the glass and act as an automatic magnetic glass cleaner!

Stomatella snails and money cowries for sure!
