Get one of those Kent scrapers on a stick. That is what I use as my back glass is too think to use a mag cleaner. If your glass isn't over about 1/2 inch, I would recommend getting one of these:

I use it glued to a mag float for the front and side. Make sure you do not leave it in your tank as it will rust.

Ironically one of my friends is on the booking end of RTB and I can go if I want to, but I have commitments that made not knowing the date :P

Depending on the circumstance you can use both epoxy and super glue, I prop the rock up if I'm using epoxy since it takes a while for it to cure, super glue I just squirt a ton in the gap and let it cure.

Simple four letter word edit for your last post. There are kids on our forum.

Glad your tank looks so good.

How are you obtaining the PAR readings? The meters available under a few thousand dollars are very inaccurate for doing LEDS. The LiCor is the only one I know that will give a "fairly" accurate reading... the Apogees should be avoided for LED use from what I have been told.

FWIW if it's an Apogee you are using, you have more PAR then that.
