My Vortech gets fully encrusted in coraline algae every few months. It Literally cakes up and prevents good flow. anyone else having this awful issue? :)

Looks awesome! I haven't got a bit of coraline algae. What are your water parameters?
 
I thought mine was bad. Those spin streams I have didn't stand a chance. Every other day I have to "unfreeze" them. I gave up on the back wall, you can see some on the glass that didn't get scraped last week or 2. I don't really mind it, I wish I had more than just that purple though.

Wow.. it looks awesome. The tank itself is gorgous, the ricordia garden, zoas all looks stunning. Love to read through your build thread :-)

Does the coralline impacts the coral growth anyway. I'm curious about its impact on calcium as well.
I think I have seen one particular thread here where the coralline growth was crazy that he had to take down the tank, it was also flaky with monti cap like thickness. I dont think yours is that type. Its prettier :-)
