Coraline Algae

[Steve...]

Does anyone do anything to boost the coraline algae in their tanks?

i was told by someone that increasing your magnesium helps.

[Steve...]

So just get a supplement for it?

In all reality just keep the big 3 (ca, alk and mag) at appropriate levels and it will grow.

Just watch what you wish for I wanted coraline to grow sooo bad for years but now that my levels are good it grows like crazy and I hate the stuff. It's terrible to clean off the glass and clogs the live rock out.... Now I don't want any to grow

Be careful what you wish for... Worst tank maintenance job for me is cleaning coralline algae off the panes in my acrylic tank.

Hmmm, haven't tried that yet. Unfortunately, my wife will just get replacements...

But does remind me of living in Winterpeg for 10 years, and cleaning frost off windshields, and inside too, sometimes...
