![]() One Word: Magnesium
I had my tank running for 3 years w/o coralline, After a visit to Bev's place, and the talk I got about no one measuring or adding magnesium to their tank, I got going on it. Within one month I have a huge patch of it on the back of my tank where the water flow is the strongest. MAGNESIUM! - Thanks Bev

I've been using it for about 2 weeks now. I've noticed quite a bit more coraline lately. Some of the new patches are about as big as a quarter. |

![]() I do not dose calcium, but i use a kalkwaser reactor to keep my alk and ph stable seems to keep a higher calcium yet it does not precipitate (snow) Mag I seem to have to drip every second day or it drops to fast to replenish, I tried purple up and not ticed no difference, I am wondering if it has to do with the blue back color i painted in the tank, Perhaps if i painted it blackl it would be better.
Coraline that does start growing in the tank will allways go white on me, so I am at a loss how some popel grow it like crazy and some people cant..like me LOL |

![]() I had coraline growing in layered plates until I got an emerald crab.
![]() Now only one coraline plate remains on a powerhead bracket. (The little monster can't get at it.)
