coraline algae

I took all of the crushed coral out of my tank several months ago and have let things just be. Did not add any other substrate. Just wanted to let things settle for a bit, before I add the next step. This tank has never really developed a whole lot of coraline algae other than what spreads on the live rock. I never got any on the glass. Now I believe I am getting coraline on the lower glass of my tank. The reason of being unsure is that it is green, but has that circular overlapping pattern to and does not come off easily. Whats your thoughts! Have to admit, I have been in a huge slack mode on my fish tanks. I'm in chicken mode right now. I have 16 baby chicks and 2 ducklings coming in the next week or so.

Oh man, thats what I've been doing wrong. Boy those ducks and chicks sure do cause an ammonia spike! Dont you hate when they get stuck in the live rock and you have to take everything out to get them out!!!!!

Thanks for the info on the coralline. I guess things must be happier without the crushed coral.
