You are so lucky to have Coraline Algae encrusted and still complaining

i am getting rid the coraline aglae growing on the glass of my tank cause it block my view into my tank that y i am removing it... if the coraline aglae is growing on my LR i would be happy too.. but not on my tank's glass... i think is look pretty dirty looking and ugly.

At first of setup, you must clear your LR from all algae, then you wont get them. But once a new LR with coraline algae or other algaes are introduced, your tank will be manifest by them in time. It happened to me after I get algae from new LR. Now I regret. My tank is full of coraline even the side glasses.

You have to peel them in time to time. They wont grow if your calcium is low but your corals will be dead.

I use the "Easy Blade Algae Scraper". IMO, it is useful in keeping the tank wall clean of all kinds of difficult to remove algae.

A few word of caution after the experience....

1) remove, clean and dry the metal blade after each use.

2) when adjust the height of the blade to fit the magnet cleaner, just put it level on table, slide to correct height and tighten the knot that hold the blade. Do not press down magnet cleaner and then tighten the knot 'cos this way, the blade will tend to scatch the glass wall easily during cleaning.

After purchasing it, my whole arm no longer need to be in, just need to wash hands only... so it motivate me to clean it more often and so glass wall is cleaner. The best part is that those algae that was scrap off the wall, peeled off in bigger piece and the tangs are fighting to have bites of it....

PS: found old sales picture...

You can actually use an old plastic card (be careful with credit cards though they may have toxic chemicals) to scrape it off - very effective as the soft plastic will not scratch your glass.

I did modify one using credit card as a blade on this scraper for a friend. He is the one who recommend me this product. He said the result is not as good as the blade.....
