No Coraline Algae

[RaymondL]

So now I don't want coralline algae given the pictures I've seen here, and the work involved to scrape it all off as it gets everywhere. Now how can I avoid getting it - that's ironic 'cause originally I posted because my tank didn't show signs of it.

If you want coral it is unavoidable. It will come in on frags and you will have to eventually dose cal mag and alk which feeds not just coral but also coralline. Unless you do softly tank.

Same here .
How does a plating shelf of coralline grow with little to no light ( actually I have a dollar store grow light over my cheato

No clue, but I have it.

From what I remember reading, could be wrong, coralline grows better without light. It's calcium and alk based so no light needed

algae needs light ?

If you find a way please post here so everyone can benefit from it
