I will keep this short.
I came home today and decided to finally scrape and clean my back wall on my 55G since I had time on hand. I have noticed Coraline algae and some green algae growing in areas where rock was resting on the glass and where I couldn't reach with my Mag-Float or Scraper.
Ended up picking up one rock then using a turkey baster to blow water thru all the tiny passages and to dust the rock off. It's amazing how much crap is hidden from eye sight. Then I used an old toothbrush to get the more stuborn stuff off then proceeded to finally clean off the back wall COMPLETELY!
Only problem now is that I have to rearrange the rock without crushing anyone or anything. My DT and Sump both look like a Dust/Poop/Detrius Bomb went off! I setup my external canister filter to help out with the cloudiness which seems to be working, but their is a bunch of tan colored crap all over my sand... Almost done.....
