mary, mary, sometimes scary... how does your corraline grow?

[rockkfish]

finally got the last of my live rock in after curing it... and they all have some corraline on them too... would like to see it spread

i know about brushing... but...

what are the best parameters to keep it going

Do you have a calcium test? I've heard that the coraline may do better with higher levels of calcium between 350-400. I see that you have the coralife PC fixture coming. That will help the coraline to grow much better than your current light setup. I'm amazed that you were able to keep your corals alive with just 80w for a 72gal. How did you get away with it? Do those corals require very little lighting?

coralline does grow better under 'reef like' calcium and alkalinity levels. 350-400ppm Ca & 2.9-4meq/L alk.
