I'm talking about my back glass. Front is easy to keep clean. Not overly accessible to back glass, with the rockwork and such AND, letting it grow.........Ya it overtakes Everything in a month or so. I wanted Black back walls, not Pink LOL

well hate to break it but your screwed.. anything you do to slow the growth of coraline is going to have the same effect on corals..

I always painted the back wall of the tanks but that was to hide the stuff behind the tank, once the coraline was there I was happy also.

LOL, well, I'm used to getting screwed. Oh well. Thx.

I amk going to try Vodka dosing tho. Allways wondered about it, did some reading now, I'll give it a try see what/if it atleast colors up the corals,

It is holly triangle ca, mg and alk, once you lowering one the 2 other will be impacted.
There is a balance between them, fiddling with will it will influence the ability of coral precipitating calcium and carbonates, in will influence alkalinity and my cause ph swing and so on…..

Not that kind, silly. Short end of the stick kind... no wait, how about... Ahh nevermind LOL

If you keep your rock away from the glass on all sides it makes cleaning much easier. :) I'm finicky about coralline of the glass too. I don't use those magnetic glass cleaners though as the coralline gets stuck in them and scratches the glass. Never again!! Grr.
