Post 2 Questions about the Reef tank..

So I have 2 questions to ask.

1. I have corraline algae growing on the glass.It is violet and pink.The problem is that I need to remove it from the front glass, and let it grow on the other sides.
How can I remove it from the front glass ???

2. Can I use a normall superglue that you can buy from a store to frag corals ? I did'nt fint superglue gel from the LFS .

Thanks

1) Use a credit card to remove the coraline.
2) look at home depot and get the gel superglue. Don't get the normal superglue, it doesn't work well. I think it's called future glue it comes two to a package and the package is yellow and green. Should be right near the paint section.

IF, for some reason, the credit card does not work (it should) you can use a nice clean razor blade too. WE used to have a piece of PVC with a groove at one end to stick a razor blade into. It worked quite well on the 225. (you've got to watch it around the corners though, don't want to slice through a piece of sealant)
