coraline removal??Anything eat it??

[killaz]

I have alot of coraline on my glass. Is there anything (animal) that will eat the stuff, or do i need to just scrape it off.

Urchins and some other critters will eat it but its a lot easier just to scrape it off.

Most urchins will take care of the problem, We have one in our 1300 gal tank at work. took care of it all and is HUGE now

A simple straight edge razor blade will get rid of the coraline quickly without harming your glass. Never use a razor on an acrylic tank though.

I love being dry while scraping glass. But nothing works as well as a razor.
Algae Free has a product to add on to a Mag Float that will clean your glass quickly and easily. I love mine!

PS with coralline growing on glass and being irratating it means you are keeping a good tank!

The best time to scrape your tank is when your lights are out and corals have their polyps out for feeding. Corals love eating the scrapings when it floats in the water column.
