Chemical maintenance in tank at sons school

[Fish Fan]

This is definitely helpful. I did buy some kalk and plan on adding it. Coralline is already well established on the rocks and glass, so that may be part of what's dropping the levels. Thanks for the info!

I'm no expert, but to build on what others have already said, if you have coralline algae that's well established and growing, and you're not yet keeping corals, you do not need to change anything you're doing. Your tank is fine

That said, if you're trying to get to to a point where you feel comfortable maintaining corals, then you're definitely asking the right questions.

Good to know! Not sure how much i want to support the coralline, it's already growing very well on my glass lol but I want to make sure everything else is happy

I think coralline is a good thing to have. It may prevent more ugly algae from taking root in my opinion.

I do like it a lot actually! My whole back wall of my tank at home was covered with it, just not that fun to clean off the glass

I *might* in the future. This has been helpful as to how to do that because tank maintenance definitely will need to be at least 2-3 weeks in between. Looking forward to testing out the kalk in the ato. Never tried that before.
