Coralline algae Remove or no?

[jester23]

Hello everyone. So I have heard that when coralline algae begins to grow in your aqaurium that its a good thing. True or not? And should i scrape this algae off of any of the surfaces like the glass?

Coralline algea is a good thing. It can be removed from the glass with an aquarium scraper.

But would removing it be bad? Or it wouldn't make any difference?

Wont make any difference. Been doing it for 12 yrs now.

Its more personal preference. I think its neat on the rocks, and even back wall, but I'm not a big fan when it blocks your view through the glass.

Yeah, definitely remove it from the front glass. Be careful how you scrape it if you have an acylic tank.
