How often do you guys scrape your glass? It seems like I scrape my glass every 2-3 days. Would it be prudent to pick up some snails or just keep scraping?

I have a pincushion urchin in right now and he’s been cruising around looking for GHA on my rocks. I had some lobophora algae in my tank early this year and he destroyed that and hasn’t come back.My snails leave little tracks , so you get lines all through ur glass haha. It’s like a broken roomba
I often don’t even do it when the wife complains,But to answer the question .
when the wife complains
My tank had a flowing mane of hair algae last time I scraped my back glass because my cycle crashed and just went crazy. It now has a slight coating of brown algae. Probably gonna scrape the back soo.I go in streaks:
-- sometimes I do a quick, daily scrape
-- sometimes I leave it alone for a week or more and only do it 'cause, by then, it's looking nasty
*front glass,,, sides not as often since tank is in a nook and sides aren't that noticeable,,, back only when I absolutely have to
My fiancée often complains when she can see too much. Usually only on the front and sides since the tank is in our living room.I often don’t even do it when the wife complains,
I think our key difference is fiancée. After being married for almost 20 years I just ignore her complaining. Ive honestly left the side glass to the point where you can’t see through the coraline algae. I probably scrape the side glass a few times a year.My fiancée often complains when she can see too much. Usually only on the front and sides since the tank is in our living room.
I get the wife to do itI often don’t even do it when the wife complains,
Wow I need to figure how to get that to happen.I get the wife to do it
