Mad props to you guys who clean the back glass. It does make for a beautiful clean look.

I just try and keep the front and sides clean.

I never clean the back glass. I think that's where the mycid shrimp breed as every few weeks I have a hatching and I get home and find the fish feasting. My tang and surgeon are always grazing on it too.

Not very clean at all :( Full of coraline. I'd be going swimming to get back there so that I could get it nice and clean.

Peninsula style tank... the 'back' is 30" x 16", and has two overflows, two returns, and a wave pump on it. No room to clean it.... sorry. It's black anyway...

The rest of the glass is time consuming enough. I'm leaving the back.

I try to scrape mine with a blade every water change.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
