Yes it did brush away pretty easily. So not coraline. Need to keep an eye on it. Been struggling with my phosphate and nitrate levels. High phosphate and no nitrates. Been dosing nitrates but it just will not come up.Looks like cyano. Coraline typically covers plastic parts like powerheads first. If it blows off or brushes off easily then cyano for sure or some type of red algae.

Feed more to the fish. Around 5 months coraline will start on your plastic parts if conditions are right. Seed it with some snails that have coraline on the shells.Yes it did brush away pretty easily. So not coraline. Need to keep an eye on it. Been struggling with my phosphate and nitrate levels.

Feeding more to the fish will keep raising the phosphate more, right?Feed more to the fish. Around 5 months coraline will start on your plastic parts if conditions are right. Seed it with some snails that have coraline on the shells.
Pellets and flakes raise phosphate. Frozen raises nitrates.Feeding more to the fish will keep raising the phosphate more, right?
Ah. Thanks for that information. I did buy some frozen today. Will start feeding that more.Pellets and flakes raise phosphate. Frozen raises nitrates.
The snail shell method!On the topic of coraline do y'all think the bottled products work to introduce coraline or is it better to just find a snail with some on its shell?
Uh, he said it brushed off easily? But you are correct coralline does come in different colors although not readily seen in our tanks.I’m letting you guys know that red coralline does exist. I have a ton in my tank from the KP rocks I added.
It is not cyano.
