Coralline Algae In Reef Tanks

[@karinabissonnette95]

The frag plugs from the coral I got from you guys had coraline on it and that's how I seeded my tank. I also like that there was coraline on the frags because I know the coral had time to settle before being sold.

[@garrycole9187]

I look for coraline in the tank if I want to do sps because it tells me it is ready for sps. That being said, I never really get it much. The purple up does somewhat work, remember you have to have coraline algae in the tank for it to work but I don't know if anyone had this problem but it caused a big bloom in spirorbid worms in my tank which are unharmful but they make your rocks looks really bad with small white spots everywhere.

[@tunefully1792]

I had that exact same problem man! I feel like we were on the titanic together 🤣

Started a tap water reef tank about 15 gallons, beat cyano some months ago, and now the green hair algae has gone and in its place Caroline algae is starting to grow, don't have the best water online for my area it says its very hard water, I'm not using protein skimmer only a hang on the glass fish breeder box with chaeto inside it growing with a purple light on top of the box

Much love from south African enjoying the content keep it up

[@johnatella8498]

My calcium is around 600, which is really high, I know. I accidentally bought/used some reef salt mix that is high in calcium. I have some coraline, but it isn't growing like I want it to. Just a light skim in places on the back. Can you let us know what lighting is best, how many hours it should have that light, and anything else?

[@mrsupersym]

How about tank has been running for 1.5years and growing SPS (SPS dominated tank) in there but only a little bit coralline? Why is that?

[@gazavalleyodg2911]

Coralline coralline lol really starting to love this Canadian reefing

[@Mike__B]

For me coraline algae grows primarily on flat surfaces (i.e. panes of glass/acrylic), on pipes that are exposed to light of any way, or pumps that are also exposed to light, also the inside of my skimmer on the side that faces a window (yeah go figure on that!). For some reason in the 20 years of reef keeping coraline algae doesn't like rocks in my tank, I've had some don't get me wrong, but it tends to go on those other surfaces first and foremost and never had the true "purple rocks" that I often see in peoples tanks (all the while scraping the sh*t out of it off the panes)

[@omar15911]

I have a ton of urchins and they seem to keep the coralline algae to a minimum

[@CoralPrime]

please make a video about UV sterilizer . is it good or bad ?

[@tylerl.4699]

What are those lights with the weird diffusers over your cube display?

[@spicyreef]

Neither one of those products actually contain coraline, but like you say if you add some coraline from almost anything, snails, crabs, corals etc... both of those products will promote growth. I love the way it looks, I just wish it would STAY OFF THE GLASS and PUMPS! :-)

[@tplummer217]

I never get tons of it. The rock will still look good with time, just with different stuff.

[@johnchambers1573]

What snails eat coralline algae?

[@douglasachaiba7885]

I've had my tank for years... And no coralline. I kind of gave up on it. Though I have coral plugs and shells with coralline.

[@truereefkeeping6022]

Same.. I wish I could get my rocks covered I have done everything to get coralline but nothing yet

[@A.R.C.77]

What's the bright red one called

[@gadamwoll]

Get some carob sea purple up and you'll get a bloom of Coraline in a month

[@Ygblitzz]

Will coraline algae out compete other algae’s in a tank like hair algae to keep it from growing .

[@baslaene7878]

It can

[@waterlover]

Dont forget to say to scrub the corraline algae while on front of a power head if your trying to seed a tank with it

[@jasonlynn3387]

How much coraline algea is too much ?

[@yeowee8361]

Nice shop nice tank nice dog ....👍

[@brianredban9393]

Digges is cool 👍👍👍

[@annebartells777]

I love the purple rocks, but scraping it off my acrylic is a pain in the you know what. It's a live hate relationship

[@00_runner]

it would be cool if fragbox was more chatty in the comment section , at least like/highlight comments..

[@Rx_Grief]

Lol I introduced mine from a snail that I found at my lfs that had on his shell 😂

[@drumklok9346]

I wouldn't swear junior reefers could be watching. =D

[@Falteredsoul]

I'm sure they have never heard a swear word in their lives until this video.

[@forza3943]

@@Falteredsoul Yep i never have😂

[@Utubereefer]

I named my daughter Coraline

[@Mindboggle100]

Kids are just the same, they start off like a "good idea", and turn into a long term annoyances... lol. Just kidding!

[@nealenns7869]

Ha coralline algae. Yeah you want it really bad. Until you don't.

[@bjmarchives]

Of course it becomes a nuisance but if you start with dry rock and never add any, you’ll never get it.

[@Meilingsueyoung]

Huge green chromis

[@blasterman789]

Coraline has never grown in my SPS tanks regardless of seeding. Yet I have monster growth. Its a lie that coraline is a sign of a healthy tank.

[@rahatilkhan9160]

[@hetabattousai]

Get an urchin and the coralline would be gone in weeks.

[@coldgaming3610]

💣

[@KMCA779]

Nobody counted? Fiiine. I broke out my clicker, I got 25.

[@lakedog3616]

I got out of the saltwater hobby because of this disgusting stuff. Makes the tank look dirty and unkept. Back to freshwater for me !

[@JoeTest-d9p]

Out of all the pests and nuisance algaes cyanos, dino’s it was the coralline that did it for you?😅
