Reflector Cleaning Frequency.

It's cold and dreary in Fort Worth today. Perfect time for tank maintenance.

I've completed my bi-weekly water change and am cleaning my Remora Pro and pump in a vinger and water bath right now. So I'm wondering how frequent I should clean my Tek T5 reflectors? I've not cleaned them since they were installed in August. The front reflectors look good. Because they are near the Remora's return, I think the rear reflectors may need to be cleaned.

I would say only as frequently as they become speckled with salt spray. Reducing surface agitation will greatly decrease this frequency.
