    Do your rocks have coraline algae too? Would you care to send some LR my way? My tank way overheated and all my coraline died. :(

    +1 to razor blade, just don't use it on yourself.

    Didn't know about the turbos eating coraline algae...

    Corailline just started to really grow on my back wall of my biocube. I thought coralline was a hard algae. My Turbos dont eat my coralline.

    +1 to razor blade
