Do You Bother To Clean The Back Of Your Aquarium(s)?

[cheesy feet]

Just curious, I don't bother cleaning the back on any of my tanks, and in fact I have found my bocourti like to feed off the algae growth produced from lots of sunlight going into the conservatory.
I guess if your gibbiceps do a good job there's no need to anyway.

Yep clean all the sides of my tank, otherwise green spot algae takes over, for some reason it only grows on the back of the tank.

hmmm.. now and again, when im really in the mood for a good clean, otherwise no
i stripped my snakehead tank last night ( it was dark in the lounge and obviously had to remove the hood and light) and i spent ages scrubbing and even went to pets at home to get one of those scrubbers with a long handle....anyway been in and out most of the day and i can still see some on the back... now i have to take the hood etc all off again its just soooo annoying

ooo ive just thought, ive never once had an algae cleaner in Bo`s tank, cant see any tho, and the 3 little plecs seem to have it under control

Nah, never bother. As long as I can see the fish through the front and sides the back can take care of itself.
