    coraline algae

    you dont have to shatter it...if its a decent rock just scuff up the coraline on top and let it fall on other rocks...then let that one rebuild or you can use it for aquascaping....unless its a small piece i would use it multiple times or for mulitple uses.

    coraline algae

    that works...or turn off all your powerheads and take a razor and scrape that rock and let it fall like snow everywhere and let it take hold for a lil bit

    Hair Algae continued....So I don't overtake a posting

    What brand salt mix??

    hey MT79...i have looked into the low calcium and they say this: right now for water changes i add all the salt to the bucket and add the water to it...well this is the opposite of how you are supposed to add the salt...you are supposed to start with all the water you will use and then add salt...
