Summer hits and tank maintenance slides. It happens every year — water changes get pushed back, glass goes unwiped, and algae starts creeping in. If you’re going to let anything slip, make sure your cleanup crew is picking up the slack.
Cerith snails are one of the best investments you can make for a low-maintenance tank. They work every layer — substrate, glass, and rockwork — eating detritus, cyano, diatoms, film algae, and leftover food before it can fuel a bloom. They’re nocturnal too, so they’re putting in work while you’re not even looking!

Caught my clown cleaning his corner today. He was doing it more till he saw me recording and got embarrassed lol.
Please excuse the dirty tank! Went on vacation and came back to a huge cyano boom, it’s gotten way better over the past few days.
Just want to show you all a real life reef tank. Nobody on TikTok or IG would show their tank like this 😂. Sometimes life happens and your tank gets neglected. My tank is almost 4 years old. The Euphillia are growing like weeds which makes me happy
I am going to get back to regular maintenance. I need to buy a larger CUC and take care of this green hair algae. I will slowly get this tank looking much better.
Does anyone know what to do about this green algae? Is it normal I’ve tried scrubbing it and it dies t seem to want to come off!! Opinions?
