is it harder to get coralline algae to grow on glass tanks then acrylic tanks as far as getting to grow of the surfus of the tank back ground etc..

I don't think it matters. I have lots of purple and green coraline growing on my glass tank. I'm even having trouble keeping it under control. I'll see if I can get a pic tomorrow.

I don't think it really matters much....but I do notice that the plastic or pvc seems to get covered in coraline first. I have a glass aquarium and in less than a year it has nearly completely coverd the back and sides. I have to scrape the front glass every few weeks just so I can see in....the pics don't feature the coraline but you can get the general idea...

This is the result of not cleaning that pane of glass and contunually knocking the Urchins off for 4 weeks.

I could use some after my new nano cycles. I want to get as much coralline growing as I can. I love the look and the fact that hair algae doesnt like it.
I hate hair algae. Did I mention that?:yes:
Please let me know what I would need to do to get some from you. Ill pay for the box, shipping whatever!

It does grows on plastic a lot faster than glass for some reason my plastic over flow is covered with all coralline and my glass only have a little on it but gettting there.

Hey Bang Guy, I'd buy some of that stuff off of you. I need to seed a couple more tanks I'm in the process of settng up. They're cycled but not much coraline on it...
