My 75gal reef tank is starting to look bad on the back wall, should I clean it once in awhile or leave it? When I clean the water and stir some of the top sand the back usuall looks real bad especially with that sand stuck on it. :huh:

I don't like the look but it's probably beneficial to my water. The only thing my fish don't eat it on it much they do some but not much.

I doubt it has a huge impact on water quality, unless it's growing like mad. Just try to collect the debris if you do decide to scrape it.
