ALK = 7-8 MG = 1300-1350 PH = 8.3, very stable and doesn't really fluctuate All other param's like phos, nit's and ammonia are virtually undetectable. I can't really give anyone any, as it is part of my aquascape, of which I won't tear apart as I love how the tank looks. It's funny, many can't grow coraline, many try hard and spend money for supplements to grow. However I can without issue. Then others can grow SPS without even trying, and I have nothing but problems. Go Figure!!!!

i had that problem way back, I bought purple up, seeded from other tanks, and was gettign very little for coralline. Then one day it started to grow and quickly started covering everything, which in the end became a pain. Go figure, I worked so hard to get it, then when i got what I wanted I no longer wanted as much. Kinda reminds me of GSP i guess

You could probably fit a few more urchins into a 180gal. They're the only thing for sale that I know of that eats coraline algae... Tuxedos are good but I wouldn't bother with rock-boring as mine doesn't move around very much.

I found the best thing to mow down my coralline algae is a long spined urchin. I had a tuxedo and while he did eat coralline he never made much of a dent in it
