I have a 270 mostly SPS acrylic reef. Corraline is very hard to remove and grows very fast, and over the years grows faster than I can remove it. One solution is to tear down the tank, carry it outside, and scrub everything down with muriatic acid. This is a lot of work, but the tank is good as new.
I thought I had a better idea, cover one side with opaque acrylic, and without light or flow, the corraline would eventually die. It hasn't yet.
I wonder if I can put anything between the 2 pieces of acrylic (baking soda, kalkwasser, etc) that would speed the process without hurting the tank. Any ideas?
