Problem:
In saltwater aquariums, algae obscure the panes within a few days because of the good lighting. In order for the aquarium to be presentable, the viewing panes must be cleaned manually every few days.

Solution:
The aquarium owner has more time to enjoy his attractive aquarium. Around €1,000 per aquarium per year can be saved with an automatic pane-cleaning system.
