| I am so undecided about allowing coralline algae to grow or not on the back wall of my tank. The wall is black right now and I'm keeping it clean. The lights off my rocks and corals look soooo nice right now, and the black back wall just sort of disappears as everything in front of the wall pops under the lights. How many of you are keeping the back wall of your tanks clean? |

I did but it just got to hard to maintain that clean look, i decided after the coralline grew in thicker and thinker it actually looks better. ------------- 74G Mixed Reef 3G Picotope |

| I clean mine it's all personal preference but I think it looks less dirty. |

| However my overflows get to do what they want cause it is a serious pain to scrape off plastic. |

I am a clean Freak. I think coraline belongs on the rock not the glass or the pumps. IMO. ------------- It's Not a Hobby It's an Obsession 150&210 Gallons of Madness and. Sanity! 801-850-4915 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65135&title=builderofdreams-feedback-post |

I like the look of coralline on the back of the tank. I think it shows the maturity of the reef. ------------- aaaaaaaaaaaaaannd.... I'm broke |

IMO both look great ! Without looks cleaner to me but if I already can grow great stuff why not let it grow. Besides isnt it what all new reefers want? |
