Removing Dried Coraline Algae

BC-Reefer · 12-22-2007, 06:18 PM

Hello everyone,

I picked up a 72 gallon bowfront reef ready tank and I wanted to remove all the old dry and encrusted coraline algae. I removed it from the front of the overflow and on the glass already. Does anyone know of a way to remove it from the area inside the overflow?

Its rather hard to move around in that small of a space so I was curious if anyone knows of a way to soften up the coraline using a type of aqueous solution?

White vinegar. works great at breaking down the calcerous corraline.
