Letting it grow.

Do you let green algae grow on the back of your tank for your tangs and other fish.

 

Yep. I don't have tangs but I leave the back glass alone.

 

Same here.

 

Yes, I let the back glass grow out for the critters that need some algae!

 

Thanks for the replies. I was curious because some people I've talked to said it was bad but I didn't see jpw

 

Great food for the snails, at night when the main lights go off, I have hundreds of them just chowing away!

 

never touched my back glass pane

 

Never touched it and yes Tangs love to pick at it plus it hides my equipment on the back.

 

I always cleaned the algae off of mine. I dont like looking at the algae lol.

 

depends on your preference but i would clean mine. It is distracting when you are trying to look at the reef tank.
