I realize folks get protective of their tank appearance so please don't take offense to the following:
WHY do most ppl NOT CLEAN their back wall?! I've recently seen pictures of some amazing reef tanks with funky back walls. Personally, I don't think (and perhaps this is the key... I DON'T think) that coraline algae is so awesome. I mean, sure it colors up your rock work and helps control evil algae, but it's almost like some folks enjoy showcasing coraline. What's up with that? IMO (I DO REALIZE ITS MY OPINION) nothing looks better than a stunning tank with corals shown off against a nice clean backdrop to really make them POP!
Am I the only one? I mean I despise this stuff when it gets on my tank walls.. its a pain to scrape off, and I would almost rather it not be there at all.
so what's up? help me understand the mentality. OR CLEAN YOUR BACK WALLS!
I love you all!
