Coraline ALgae Question?

[jbeanz]

Hey guys I would like to know how long does it take for coraline algae to kick in and is there a way to speed up the process.

It really all depends on the tank itself... and you do need some coraline algae to kick start it.

And how can I get rid of it from acrylic aquarium walls?

Depends on the conditions of your tank. Calcium level and light are big factors.

for me i found out when i switched to mh from 6 t5's 10x the growth, also getting either some rock with alot of it, or someone's scraping's then crush it up and add to tank. good flow good calc lvl's ect and good lighting
