Artificial reef and corals?

most public aquariums with large displays will have banks of fluidized sand filter towers for biological filtration, each one being able to take offline to clean while the others run. The key to disease control is ozone systems with off gasing towers.

I figure it is manual cleaning, but I worry about removing paint. I sent a message to the Tanked guys to see what they say.
