i thought I always kept a very very clean tank until yesterday...... I always clean my glass during water changes gravel vac and clean everything 3 times a week. Yesterday I decided to strip it down. I took everything out just about climbed in there and cleaned the glass. 10 hours later the tank is sooooo clean it looks like water is suspended in the middle of my loungeroom with fish swimming in it. Now I know how a clean tank looks again. LOVE IT

hence y i can say i m buggered everyday and keep a straight face ;-)
also lpiasente congrats on the squeeky cleen tank, i can understand your frustration, i clean glass of my tank every 2-3 days when i do a WC (BB tank, nothing but fish in it) and by the time it comes to do a WC again there is allways white crap attaching to the glass again.
i got a funny feeling its cos i feed alot of frozen brine shrimp

I was wiping off green alge that I couldn't see on the glass but on the white paper towel it was very green. I think there is a bit of calicum build up on there as well as there was a cloudy covering over the whole tank.
Not anymore :)

hahaha, i neva used to know the 'old english' term for buggered either. it took my grandmother, god rest her soul, to tell me the original meaning.
just like gay doesnt mean what it used to either.
these days bugger is just an expression of tiredness.
unfortunately many people in the UK just dont get the aussie language, after all a recent aussie tourist advertising campaign was banned in the UK because of the word 'bloody'.
so all i got to say is bloody hell and go bugga yourself ;-) lol
