coraline...

Once coralline gets a grip there is no stopping it! I clean my glass every day, but once a week the razor blade comes out and I have to scrape the glass. It just keeps growing and growing, it's worse than Xenia! It looks great on the rocks, but ohh it is such a pain!

 

HaHa...get used to it. Sign of healthy tank which all reefers have to deal with.

Just keep a good scraper handy and scrape away. And while you are doing so, you will be just spreading again around tank.;D

I only bother to keep front of tank clear...algae anywhere else is snail/asterina food.

 

Amen, Omard. I never clean the sides of my tank. Gotta give the snails SOMETHING to eat. Plus I think eventually when the coralline covers it, it shall look cool. I'm getting explosive coralline growth right now. I love it.

 

so it would be a good rule for noobies to not add coral till u see coraline starting to grow? if its a sign of high quality water then thats what i would have thought i hope so cos thats all im waiting for


"A trusted LFS I go to suggest that I should keep the calcium levels up and upgrade to some kind of light 14K or higher. Not sure if thats really true but he is a pretty smart and knowledge guy."
