Well, with my 360 view, all 4
On tanks against the wall, yes again, but not that frequently. Depends on how much it bothers me I guess lol
Thanks,

Always. I hate seeing algae and stuff on the glass even in the back. Especially on saltwater tanks. Coralline algae looks nice but I don't want it on my glass or overflow box.

Then Again, I Am Probably Nuts
Hi Mark,
Depending on viewing angle, I leave algae,but then I like algae.
I love rocks and glass with a nice patina of algae, I believe the algae provide a buffer and by having good-looking algae I dissuade the ugly nasty stuff from setting up shop.

Also, it is better to leave some algae for algae eaters like Ottos, isn't it ?

Starvation is not nice
Hi,
I often worry about folks getting algae eaters, what happens when the algae is gone…

My Ottos had a great time with zucchini, but now they have become more finicky, so I prefer not scrape too much the glasses.
Best wishes,
