 Coraline question I just picked up my 180g tank. It's about a year and a half old, the overfolw boxes are covered in dried out coraline. Do I need to get this off or will it come back to life and continue to grow?

| Re: Coraline question Mine had lots of it too, but mine was hard to get off when dry and I gave up. I found after being under water for a week it came right off with a flat utility blade though.

| Re: Coraline question It won't come back if it is dead but it won't hurt anything either. If anything it will add calcium back to the system. I know it is ugly but as long as it doesn't block flow it should be OK. Last edited by dhboyd1; 09-24-2007 at 11:37 AM. |

| Re: Coraline question Thanks, the tank is pretty dirty so I'm going to give it a good soak in water and vinegar. Whatever doesn't come off stays. I can't see scrubbing and scraping just to make the overflows look nice. Especially since it's just gonna grow back anyway.
