Removing Coraline Algae
Hello Everyone,
I have this real problem, coraline algae is taking over my aquarium glass. OK so it is not a "real" problem, but kind of a good one. It seems like the stuff is growing more on my glass than on my rock work. I was wondering what my fellow reefers use to scrub the glass free of this algae? I saw that KENT makes an algae blade, anyone use this?? Thanks, CaptK PS - just curious, does anyone let the coraline algae completely cover the back of their tank? How does it look? |

I only scrape it off the front glass. A credit card works good.

The old credit card or something along that way works kent pro scraper works really well also.
I clean the sides and front of the tank and dont touch the back. |

You guys who use the Kent Scraper, do you use the one with the long 24'' handle? How sturdy is that lond handle?
Would I be better off just getting the small handheld one so I dont have to worry about breaking a flimsy handle? Thanks, CaptK |
