Cleaning rocks weekly

[jesse alex ethier]

Do you guys blow rocks clean every week

Once a month over here. Once a week is a good habit though.

I probably do this weekly. The amount of crud that comes out of the rock pores is crazy. I don't have a high flow tank so I'm sure it's prone to more accumulation of detritus. I go at it pretty good immediately before water change as well.

are we talking turkey baster for blow them off or some other methods? the diamond goby sure does his part to get sand and "dust" onto the rock, lol

Sounds tiring.

I'm not saying you shouldn't do it but let the flow and clean up crew do that for you as much as possible.

Maybe for a tank your size! I have a 39g cube so no biggie and beside I feel like the corals feed off some of the crud blown out of the rockwork.
