Can i just grow coralline algae in my FO tank for color?
You mean PC, VHO or NO? Even though you will not/may not convert to an FOWLR, coralline will still need 2-3w/gal for it to spread and flourish. It does best in an actinic spectrum 420-450 nm. The biggest challenge will be growing surfaces. Without the LR it will be contained to exposed equipment and aquarium walls. The coralline will not colonize the sand to any real extent to be visual. Even if adding a small amount of rock, it will still give the coralline a better foothold than without it.djustice said:and the juiced up flourescent light.
