![]() I've read hermits and urchins can both eat coraline. If you have several maybe they are preventing growth?

![]() I don't have coralline in my tank either...well very minimal anyway. I have "perfect" parameters including magnesium. The only thing I struggle with is low pH at around 7.8-8.0. I'd also like to know why I can't grow coralline.
Marie: You wouldn't like it if all YOUR rocks were stark white!!!! :P |

![]() i do a half dose twice a week . i also drop my calcium dosage. its hard to say how much aas that would depend on your tank size and what your using. just be aware that purple up does have calcium in it.

![]() Brent: Do you have any coraline at all? You have to have at least some to seed other rocks, glass, ect. |

![]() ^ Haha! I didn't have any before I cooked them either. I do have some on one rock. I find my coralline grows better on the shady side of the rocks... ??? Weird.

![]() I've always been able to get good coraline growth on rocks but never seem to get much on the glass.
