Oooo never thought about it inhibiting the rocks filtering till u said it. Now how do I kill this thing. Lol

I especially don't want it on my rock. Glass and gear can be cleaned, rock can't!

Sure it can You go out and buy one of those pointy things that mows down everything in sight and stabs you ,knocks all the corals over and at the end of the day doesn't make a dent in the algae lol

Maybe develop something that will let it grow on rocks while not affecting filtration capacity of the rock. Then I'll like it :)
