Hey All...

I am starting to get los of colorful coralline algae on the back of my tank...however it is starting go wild on the front of my tank...should i scrape it off? Any thoughts? Thanks!

Yes, or it will eventually completely cover the front of the tank and you won't be able to see in. Fish stores sell algae scrapers specifically for this work. Or you can cheap out like I did and use a metal kitchen spatula. Unless you have an acrylic tank...for those you need special scrapers to avoid scratching the tank.

i have glass so i can just get after it with a scraper...is there a reason why it is on the fron of the glass more so than the back? aside from the overflow portion?
