White spots all over tank glass

[droidus]

I've noticed a growing amount of these white spots on my tanks glass, just now taking over it. What is it, and how do I get rid of it, and prevent this from happening again?

If I'm looking at what you're looking it - it looks like coralline algae? I assume its 'hard'. You just need to scrape it off periodically.

That's the stuff I'm trying to get now lol

Those pink spots look like Coraline algae. If it's hard, just scrape it off wherever you don't want it.

PS - when you scrape it off the glass - you can hope that some of it settles/grows on your rocks.

It is coraline and I use an old credit card to scrape it off on front and sides of tank. A pencil urchin will keep this clean but will do the whole tank, not just the front

I think OP is referring to the small dots on the back.

I have a biocube 32. Would a chisel work better against removing it?
Are pencil urchins hard to keep? Right now my tank is fish only.

If you have the ability to sharpen it on whetstones, it would work. Razer blade or credit card edges work as is.

You may be right

If so, theyre way in the back but would guess to be spirobid worms. Same removal process
