    some time I will feed my nars some forzen silver sides, they consume it in a matter of minutes. but only do this about once a week if that.

    corline is not rock hard and does come off. Red hair algae usuly carpets everything. plus snails don't eat cyano. If I am wrong what every you have growing on the back of your tank the snails are eating.

    As far as the back glass, I am not sure from the pic if it is indeed Coraline. If it wipes or scrapes off easily it isn't. Add about 4 Mragarita snails, they cleaned up my bio like you wouldn't believe! And, they are still alive, so far.

    my turbos eat my corline that is why it looked like turbo prints I thought to myself that it is coraline.
