Coralline Algae
I'm starting to see the point of those that hate coralline. I had forgotten that my tank had square panes of glass. I really feel for those of you that have acrylic tanks! How do you not scratch it?

You don't let it build up. If you spend 5-10 minutes every couple of days it isn't a problem.

Even using the magfloat every few days, it still builds up around the edges.

Maybe we can create a reef safe product like Rain-X.
Coralline-X

Yes an urchin can but they may also scratch the surface while eating

I heard of a electic scraper of some kind recently that cleans the coralline off of acrylic easily. It cost like $90 of something.........
I cant remember where i saw it...if anyone knows they should post it

Freshwater or just plain old air works great.. LOL now just figure out how to create a barrier between your sw and the tank glass .. . ..
