Tank is around a year old now and I’d like to clean some algae off the rocks and just generally clean the dirt around areas which I can’t normally reach like under the rock, back wall etc. (bare bottom tank).
Im thinking of doing a big water change first and then taking all the live rock out for a quick scrub down in the used tank water as well as cleaning the surfaces of the tank while it’s empty. Is it safe to have the rock sitting out of water for a few minutes? There are no corals attached to the rock but might be a few stomatellas and brittle stars.
Also do you guys even bother cleaning these unseen areas in your tank? Like the overflow or back wall etc. or is there no point
