I just run my Mag Float over it daily to keep it clean and to keep coraline from getting a good foothold on the front anyways

It's probably closer to bi-weekly but it wasn't up there. At that interval though, I do have to get the little coraline spots off. If I had a mag-float I would probably do it a couple times a week or so.

I do the front glass when the fish do not appear to be the color they should be!!

Usually 2-3 times a week!

Ditto what Danielle and Jim said...Mag float when the doorbell rings, by hand once a week or so.
