My reef tank just became self cleaning when it comes to Coraline algae on the back glass

It just decided to come off in a full sheet.

That amazing coraline growth!
My back wall was like that and I added 2 urchins and they keep it under control.

Imagine how much of the dosages just wasted and growing those annoying algae, don't get me wrong, actually i like the purple coraline algae on the live rock even little on the glass but when they over growing and cause you need to dosing much more and clean them more frequently, then it will be a pain in the butt LOL

Yeah. I'm curious to see how my my dosing will adjust now. I just cleaned the other side of the tank to make it look even. The corals look so much better with the clean background I must admit.
