Mojado Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'd get a magnetic glass cleaner for aquariums. Some are only good for up to 5mm of glass thickness, so you'll have to get one that works for your glass thickness. Should be less than $20. Link to comment
Sunstar Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Astrea snails worked a charm on my glass, but the mag-float works a charm otherwise. Unfortunately it cleared up the algae issue, so I had to move it to another tank while I wait for the issue to return... so far though the issue seems done with. Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The best glass cleaner lol http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_viewitem.aspx?idproduct=4F54601&child=4F54601&utm_source=adwordsfroogle&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=adwordsfroogle&utm_content=4F54601&gclid=CNLZ2oK_gMQCFQ-raQodpSEAEg Link to comment
ndrobey Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 My turbo snail is a lawnmower on the glass. It spends all of its time eating the algae and never takes coffee breaks or days off. Link to comment
ml86743 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Red Banded Trochus... Very efficient cleaner, very fast too. I believe its found in tropical waters whereas Astreas are more temperate, so it will suit a reef setup adequately. Link to comment
Sunstar Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Actually, I think the red banded trochus is what I have. Link to comment
