Poll on who likes and dislikes coraline algae.

blue_eyes53813 · 12-03-2005, 06:33 PM

Im trying to decide if coraline looks good or makes a tank look dark and dirty.My last tank I had coraline on all sides but the front. Everybody that looked at my tank commented on it and kinda turned up there nose. My new tank Im gonna try keeping it cleaned off the glass. Well maybe, it is already taking over.

I only let it grow on the overflow and rocks. I scrape it off of the glass. I like the 'clean' look

i love the sight of coraline algae on the back and sides of the tank,, it emphasises a well mature aquarium.

Witfull · 12-03-2005, 07:50 PM

blue_eyes53813 · 12-03-2005, 08:15 PM

Oh sorry my bad... ALL right every post reply if they like pink bottoms.

Woodstock · 12-03-2005, 08:30 PM

Woody, make sure you keep your bottom clean.....

Coraline on the rocks only for me. I scrape all the glass. Like the sparkling look. However, I can barely see into my fuge through the coraline.

mps9506 · 12-03-2005, 11:28 PM

Ditto on scraping it. Not a fan of coralline on the glass. I like everything looking clean.

back glass and rock and plumbing. if its good for your tank then why not on the back glass i think.

I quit cleaning the sides because my Regal Tang wont stop fighting with his reflection . I did clean one side when I added a new tang a while back , it gave him something to do besides picking on the new guy .
