coraline question?
can it become a problem for your biofilter if your LR is completly covered?

interesting question, I doubt it though as I would find it hard to believe that the coraline could cover the rock in such a way as it killed everything, or anything, inside. Plus there is still the sand, glass, powerheads, overflow, pvc, sump, refugium, etc etc :c) lotsa room for bacteria to grow.

No. You've got your sand. And the underside of the rock. And I suspect on a bacterial scale the stuff is pretty porous.
What it will do is prevent other algae growth.

If you have enough LR, then no. Sticking to the 1 pound per gallon will keep you easily in the clear. Don't forget that coraline is an alga and its self is a user of Ammonia and Nitrate (and phosphate) for nutrition. There'll be plenty of areas that aren't covered with coraline since light cannot get to the bottoms. If your flow it good, there won't be any issues (so far my tank hasn't crashed...).
