I find that water changes help almost everything in your tank. it may take some time to correct the problem and control it with Water changes. but works like a charm !

are you using RO or tap water . and what are your para. and how old are your bulbs

15 gallons might not be enough on a 110. from what i was told u should change at least 30% which in ur case should be 30+ gallons. but to answer ur question better a pic would be good. u might need more then a water change.

It's a very good chance that it IS Coraline, it comes in many colors.

I have some green Coraline growing in my sump and in my skimmer, from my experience, it seems to like a much lower amount of light than the purple.

I think the amount you should change depends a lot on your bio-load.

did see he said coralline i thought it was green film algae

I agree , coralline can come in all sorts of colors. green ,pink ,orange and so on.

30% is alot.
10% is ok 15% is better. anything over that all params need to be the same in the mix as is in your tank or you could shock something.

Bio Load makes the biggest difference in what you really need to do to maintain your tank..
