Best Supplement for Coraline growth?

[albert_dao]

If you haven't already done so, you might want to get some test kits for Ca, kH and Mg. Getting both of those to the right places will make a pest out of coraline

There's no "magic" product that's going to give you enhanced coraline growth. At best, coraline products are going to give you growth rates that will match those of good water parameters, IMO.

I use the two part C-balance from Two Little Fishies (got it from J&L). It gives acceptable coraline growth. When the bottles are finished I will switch to Salifert All in One to see if it gives better results.

The other option which I ca nnot find here is B-inoic from ESV.

I think the best coralline accellorator is to keep your calcium, alk/dkh, and magnesium well balanced - it will grow EVERYWHERE! You can even bump your magnesium up to around 1400ppm if you want to and it seems to hasten the spread - particularly on the glass.
I have also found that having an urchin in the tank seems to propogate it.

my tuxedo urchin eats it, making coraline kinda sparse in my tank.

They do eat it but at the same time they also dislodge the spores that cause it to spread. In my experience and also from what I have read they are very helpful in assisting it to spread to the rest of you tank.

I agree with Ruth. Just maintain your Ca/Alk/Mg..I wouldn't waste your money on the specialized stuff such as purple up.

I found I had the best coralline growth when I dripped Kalk.But like the others said,having Cal/Alk/Mg inline is the key.I also had better growth with my PC's than with my 250w MH.
