Cloudy glass

I know it’s hard to see, but there’s some kind of white substance on the inside of the glass. You may notice diatoms in the background as well but I’m already aware and I’m getting trochus snails and copepods on Sunday. If I get those will they help keep the glass clean as well? (I don’t have any CUC yet) I’m also using Maracyn right now so maybe that’s a side effect? If the trochus and copepods won’t be as effective, here’s the rest of the list I was thinking about: Cerith snails, Nassarius snails, scarlet reef hermit.

Cleaning glass is a normal part of maintenance even on mature tanks. This is how my glass looks after 2 or 3 days.

What should I use to clean it? Also BEAUTIFUL tank

There are magnetic algae scrapers and also some with handles. I like Tunze care magnet scrapers but there are much less expensive options. If you google "aquarium algae scraper" it should bring up a bunch of different choices.

Yes. Glass scrapers are the easiest way to clean it and they always make the tank look fresh and clean. It’s one of the easy and satisfying parts of the hobby
