Hair algea seems to love the stuff. I bet it has to do with the texture of the surface. The algea must be able to "bite" into it.

I was afraid someone would ask me that. It got it at some place in Norcross that sells all kinds of plastics for industrial use.They had to special order it. When I called inquiring about it, the lady on the phone immediatley said "You have a reef tank dont you?".
Seems we are the only ones who request the stuff.
I got the contact here on ARC. I will try to dig it up for ya.
Seems to be doing fine. I have only has this tank set up since September.So far so good.
