    How often do you find yourself wiping down the inside of the glass to remove algae?

    It seems i need to do it at least every 2 or 3 days to maintain a nice looking tanks. otherwise it just looks like crap when the glass is dirty...

    About every 10-14 days, but I'm running a ULN system. With a normal nutrient system, I was probably cleaning twice a week.
