well i have red macro algee with pinks and orange i dont think black is good and if you have red slime thats syno bacteria witch defenitly is not good brown hair and green isnt good either what kind of lights do you have and whats your nitrates that deffenitly has alot to do with it also phosphates and what kind of water do you use

i started getting coraline in my fuge as well :scratch: tank is a month old though....

tjake - how long has the tank been up and how frequently have you been doing water changes?

scrape some off of the fuge so that it disolves into your water.. it will eventually spread to your rocks. i noticed when i used to dose my tank with kent a and b ionic for nano tanks, my tank started to explode. this was a few months back and my coraline is florishing since. whenever you see some on the glass just scrape it with a credit card
