Yah I've got a 1 gallon bottle of urea you can have. It's half empty but I can fill it up for you. It should keep the coraline away for sure.

Also, if you can figure out a way to drop your calcium to around 280 coraline will stop growing. I know this, as my tank was around 280 and the coraline stopped growing. Oddly I didn't lose any corals, except for 4 RBTAs.

I say change your tank over to an acrylic tank, coraline never seems to grow on acrylic and if it does all you have to do is tap the outside of the tank and it falls off.



Just had to sorry


after you install the MH you will want it back, make sure you go with 10k if it does not kill it, it will slow it down.

i am also going to be swaping tanks out the weekend of the meeting so lets see how it works out.

 

[jaandgc]

I was kidding about the acrylic, coraline is a much bigger problem in acrylic because you can't just scrape it off. just wanted to make sure you knew that.

plaese post a pic. I am not sure you have coralline issues. I havent seen a coralline yet that can grow to annoting dimension in 1 day.

 

[blind1993]

Sandpaper works great... and the more you use it the less coraline you see... well the less everything you see, but at least you don't see the coraline

i guess you could consider my tank special cause mine never drop below 450 or so.:shades:

Coraline algea growth is a good thing. When you find the thing stops growning; that is the proper time to cry and tell the forums about the situation.
