Isn't this a good thing? I was under the impression that folks want coralline on the back walls of the tank?

 

[DaveG99]

yes it is. I was just showing how crusty it looks.

 

[fejus]

ohh well cool!

Coralline loves plastic for whatever reason your powerheads and returns will always coat way faster then your rock or glass.

electrolysis has something to do with this as well. The slight magnetic field that is generated from the electricity attracts calcium and other elements toward the power heads, thus more calcifying.

There is some research into growing aquacultured corals on small lines carrying current to make them grow faster. 8)
