Coraline Scraping Question.

When scraping the coraline off the inside of the tank, the coraline that gets scraped off, and disolves into the water inside the tanks effect the parrameters of the tank?

Nope. The calcium is already in the tank.

I havent really noticed coraline dissolving when I scraped it before, it kind of flakes off and falls to the sand. Excuse the stupid question, but you mean coraline algae not salt creep right? Because when thats scraped off the top of the tank into the water it does dissolve.

If it is indeed coraline then I agree with the others, no effects.

I agree with the above posts, it should not disolve, so it should not effect anything.
