coraline algae

[trunks1622]

I was just wondering if there is a way of preventing the coraline algae from taking over your glass. I don't mind having them in my Live rocks but it becomes a pain scraping them off your glass. Is there a more efficient way of preventing them from growing on your glass? I just set up 150g and I would like to know if there are ways to help me keep my glass coraline algae free.

Scrape the glass regularly with this.

This makes cleaning the glass fun, fast and strain-less.

Scraping is the only way I know

using the magnet scraper every day will prevent coraline algae from forming on the glass. its a lot easier doing it everyday for 1 minute than scraping off coraline algae every 2 weeks.

*sigh* I guess scraping it is then. I should invest on a very good scraper. Hey Whisperer! where can i get one of those?

Got it from petsmart.
