Lately I have been noticing a dramatic drop in Coraline growth, Under the Antinic Blue they almost look like it all just died off.... I think this may be the issue I was having last week with the Ammonia Spike I had when I added my new power heads. There are a few spot on back glass where coraline is just pure white.... Wondering if I should not turn on all my lights during the day and just had 2 Antinic and 2 10K's running instead of all four....
 
I almost would not think it was the lights. I run alot of actinics in mine and dont have any problem. I would check Calcium, Alk and magnesium.
 
Yeah I will check that when I get home from work. I will let you know the Out come...
 
I agree with mike. Coraline will grow in low and high light so I say it is more likely the CA alk and mag levels in your system.
