How do you clean your front glass with Frag racks all over it? I would go crazy if I couldn’t clean the front glass.
I do a section at a time and just move the racks. It's not pretty.... Also, I loathe the curved glass of the Fluval Flex and it is my main regret. I kind of hate it and don't spend a ton of time worrying about it being spotless. In all honesty though, it stays pretty clear for me.

Snails! Snails! Snails!

I clean my glass twice a month maybe.
Good Lord! You must have some very efficient snails. Mine leave trails everywhere. I clean my glass every 2-3 days. But then I’m OCD and born in September. Virgo’s are neat nuts. :p

@Kasrift so with a puck style light, do you think I will have higher par up on the wall a few inches higher than I would on the middle rock?

I think so. I always angle out the branches from the acros inwards towards the center whenever possible.

My favorite little scarlet hermit crab must have lived his full lifespan. Found the nassarius munching him in the shell earlier. Had him 1 year and 5 months. Anyone know the lifespan of the tiny scarlet hermit crabs? It was my favorite little hermit and I'll have to buy some more.

Side note. Read something the other day about people putting their frag plugs in the sump so they get coated in aquarium goodness before they use. Sounds like a good practice.

Did this. I put them just in the sand towards the back. I only did this with the Maxspect Bioplugs because their beaded ceramic LOVES to grow corralline but I never saw this happen on some other ceramic plugs I've tried.

I love/hate the Maxspect Bioplugs. They have the best medium ever for growing frags that I've found and a nice wide top, but they have the shortest stupidest stem plug that falls out of even locking frag racks. I'm thinking of just using putty to make a longer stem on them.
