Coralline and Parameters

[JAMSOURY]

Does coralline affect stability and alk/cal, considering it can grow quickly all over the glass and frag racks?

It will definitely consume calcium

Yes but if its growing so are your corals!

Scraping it off the glass versus letting it grow has an immeasurable impact on my alk/ca consumption. I recently went on vacation for 15 days and came back to this;

My alkalinity and calcium tested the same as when I left. I did not alter my doser settings while away. I'll scrape it off this weekend and see if I need to alter my doser settings in the following week.

I can't see in there

I was a bit shocked when I first saw it after 2 weeks. Figured it would be all brown/green myself.
