Question about corraline Algae and temperature?


Hello everyone I have recently noticed alot of purple corraline algae begining to grow in my tank according to my research if your tank is growing corraline algae then it's in decent shape?

Also if this algae is actually a very good thing with winter fastly approaching what is the recommended temp so that I wont accidently kill my algae?

i know you have a mostly fish only tank so just keep doing what your doing, 78 to 80 is idea temp but stability is more important. the coraline growing is more because you have stable conditions being your calcium, magnisum, and alk etc. so if everybody is happy don't change a thing.
