Default Slowing Coraline
I was wondering what a person can do to slow the growth of COraline? I have MASSIVE amounts of pink coraline and my long spine urchin doesn't seem to even make a dent in it. Just becoming a pain to scrape it all off every couple weeks. I like the looks of it, but with it would just grow slower on the glass....

Adding vodka to the aquarium will slow it down. There are much more grater benefits of dosing vodka.

Letting your magnesium fall low will also retard the growth.

use a magnetic cleaner and run your glass every day and you won't get any build up on your viewing glass.
