I've seen a couple threads over the past few days on coralline algae. Some people love it, some people hate it. I personally love it and feel it adds character to a reef tank. I struggled for a long time trying to get it to grow, but now have a back wall almost filled with coralline. So I'm wondering, do you love it or hate it? Feel free to share a picture.

I think it adds to the color of the tank.also if you have a clear back it hides all the stuff you really don't want to see. I also see it as of a sign of a healthy tank if it is growing well

This is old school and I'm still a believer that if you have that pinkish, purple incrusting, calcium sucking, grows on everything, "stuff", you Sir, have a healthy tank! Lol
 
I love it. Hoping to have it everywhere

You know what they say, "be careful what you wish for"! Lol

Some people, including me years ago, had it/have it so bad, that it would take razor blade to clean the glass each week!
 
How did you get it to grow? Do you make a change, and if so, what? What kind of lights do you have?
I believe strongly that the implementation of brs 2 part is really what caused mine to start growing as it did.
Plus when I added t5s seemed to help as well. Now I'm currently running t5 metal halide
