How It's Cleaned
We use a magnet cleaner. (Seen at right)
This is done by placing one magnet that has a scourer attached inside the aquarium, and then a magnet on the outside that has felt attached.
By moving the outside magnet from side to side, it moves the inside magnet with the scourer and this cleans off the algae.
We also use a large bamboo stick with a razor blade attached to the end of it. We mainly use this when the algae becomes too hard to remove with the magnets.
Also, we use natural cleaners like Turbo Snails, which eat algae off the glass and Sea Urchins, which eat the algae off the rock and corals.
