Coraline growth

[McNasty]

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.)

guess what, your dosing Ca if you using Kalk

anyways by the sounds of it you are unballanced in your water chem.. Ca is way to high for your other readings.. are you using the reactor with make up water?
