I can't believe how much coralline has grown in one month....There isn't a speck of white rock visible now.

You have no idea how jealous that makes me!

What do you attribute this to? Was it just really good live rock that you seeded the dry rock with, or was there more to it?

Where did you get the live rock that you seeded the tank with?

The seeding live rock came from my other tanks, I started with roughly a one to one ratio (100lb LR to 100lb Marco rock) and have been slowly removing the seed rock. I have been running the calcium reactor with ARM and ZeoMag, with a steady stream of afluent... other than that nothing out of the ordinary.

Right now I have the fixture operating @ 80% 1400K, We had company over Satuday night, I put it @1800K and had too reduce the power to 25% as not to blind everyone in the room.
