Algae

[ehh]

Anyone else hate cleaning the algae off the back panel of your tanks. I clean it once every several months because I hate it so much. If I don't get bit in the process, the bastard fish in there is flaring up and freaking out. I let it get a little out of hand this time haha.

i have one but i can't get behind the tank. its against a wall. keeping the front panel and side panels is easy but that back panel is a real pain.

Oh ok, maybe shave off some time for the lights to be on.

i don't mind the algae though. its ugly but its not a problem. sometimes the tank goes days without the light on haha. i just never scrub the algae on the back panel.

I don't mind it myself lol, but only good algae.

Ehh, you don't clean when you do WC? That's probably the best time with handle scraper or towel.

I agree. Algae doesn't bother me at all either. I don't own a scrubber for this tank and prefer the natural look anyway.
