Too funny - no, I'm not planning to grow it and then have to scrape it off! Since this side glass is near the wall, I would prefer to be all purple vs green/brown. See my FTS and side wall under white lights, it's definitely the ugly algae that I'm loosing a battle on.ha ha, stole my post ….those specks appearing daily can drive you mad….
regurgitating @jda post, basically coralline doesn’t really compete well under certain conditions but conversely, when its going, it stops other garbage algaes from taking a foothold….
Also be advised
…also there is a green coralline I think, I used to think it was just the pink stuff, but its not…not 100% certain what it is …
There is also another dark green hard algae that shows up when conditions are pristine…i often see it in conjunction with coralline on the glass…. hopefully someone more versed will clean this up…i never cared that much, just something I’ve noticed
