Pink dots on the glass

JPeach · #1 11-22-2007, 05:45 PM

All,

I have a 14 Gal Nano, I love it, but resently pink dots that I guess are calcium deposts have started showing up on the glass of the aquarium. They don't scrub off is there anything I can use to get them off ? Live or Product?

( sorry the picture quality is bad I had a hard time shrinking the picture enough to upload it)

Looks like coraline algae. That's actually a good sign. You'll need to scrape it off with a razor blade or something. There are several commercial scrapers designed for such a purpose.

Here's a link to the one I use but I use it with the metal blade.

I know you weren't asking about it, but watch the flame angel.
unfortunately your tank is a bit small for a dwarf angel IMO and it may start getting aggressive towards the other fish as it gets bigger.
I have one in a 29 gallon and it gets a bit aggressive towards the other tankmates at times.
hopefully it will be fine for ya.

Yeah, you should definitely give me that Flame Angel

As far as the Coraline Algae, I would stay on top of its removal if you don't like the looks. Easy to maintain once every few days/week, but it gets harder to remove the more encrusted it becomes....at least in my experience.

I bought the flame angle with out doing the research first ( I know, I know )
He fits in really well at the moment. No agressive behavior he just hangs out.

This tank is in my office at work and it is my greatest stress relief since I set it up.

Mark- thanks I will order one today!!
