A Little Soap and Water?

[goodgreef]

Hello once again reef people,

I just noticed that when I used a magnet to clean the algae off the glass, quite a bit of debris from the surrounding rock came loose and floated into the water. I'm beginning to think my tank needs a good cleaning. What is recommended to clean a 41G (24w x 18d) tank with 65 pounds of stacked rock (not much of a bed to vacuum!)?


Tanks a bunch,

well def not soap.

use a turkey baster everytime you do a water change, that might help, than get a power head and point it at the rock to help move build up off of it.

Yuppers wonderful suggestion! I did this 2x weekly when I first set up my tank for about 4 months and today I barely get any dust at all.
