    Default Cursed with the good stuff

    Coralline algae is literally taking over my tank,, i have counted 6 different types that i can tell,, you have your normal pink encrusting, then there is the plating kind, then you have the kind that forms a small thicket almost like a coral( the one i have is baseball sized and growing :blink , then i have a dark red kind similar to the thicket form, then there is the dark pink/red rough encrusting and then we come to the bane of my existance, a pink fuzz almost looks like cotton candy but darker pink, this stuff is growing right over my substrate, all over my rocks, everywhere,, don't get me wrong it is very cool stuff, but man before long your not going to be able to see my rocks,, even if my corals dont grow fast enough, the coralline will start to out compete it.. :wacko

    I think you have been watching 'Pretty in Pink' too many times and your tank is getting some ideas.....
