Default cleaning the glass

Call me crazy, but I enjoy sticking my arms in my tanks. I bought one
of those plastic dish scrubbers (made sure it did not have any added
fungicides and stuff) and daily clean the inside glass. For me it is
relaxing but I could see how a razor would be good for stubborn spots.

A good BH&G tip for using any sponge is to put it damp (use tap water to
rinse out all salt water) in the microwave to kill any bacteria that
could be harmful. Two minutes is all it takes.

thing is when you get into a reef, the oil off your skin is not good for the
tank and your tank is much happier when you keep your hands out.

also your skimmer will shut down for an hour or two after any skin contact
with the water.

Also, your clown might attack you as mine most certainly did today.

Funny you would say that. A couple weeks ago I got an anemone, My clown
boded with it and now when you put youe hand in the tank you've got to
wiggle your fingers to skare the clown away or he will bite you or the rock
you'rs moving.
