This is the back wall of my 120g (lights are off right now).I’m fairly new, only started a year and a half ago, and this tank has been up for just over a year. Whenever I preform a water change, my girlfriend says she doesn’t want me to scrape the back glass because she likes the look of the algae. I just wanted to see if keeping the algae on the back of the glass and not scraping it could have any negative effects on my tank. I have GSP, zoas, and some xenia right now and I don’t want it to possibly effect their growth, or the health of my fish. Just wanted to see if there’s any experts out there that would be able to help. Thanks!
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
