Corallin algea out of control with new R/C.

[Ralphyhp]

Hi everybody, a month ago i set up a C/R model CR-6 dual from www.myreefcreations.com on my 125g tank, after that i have a lot of corallin growth on my tank, but now the corallin is out of control and my SPS looks more healthy. When i set up this unit i scrapp off all the corallin algea on the back glass of my tank and take a look how it growth on one month. I keep the CA of my reef always in 450 ppm without problems. Thanks Andy for work for us. Ralphyhp

My Ca reactor recently went off-line and I've been too lazy to replace the media in it. Since then, my coralline on the glass has completely died off.

rock'n tank..wish I could get my coralline to grow like that. Maybe I should get a Ca reactor for my 60

Nice coralline, even nicer SPS. Have you noticed much difference in the growth rates yet? I noticed that you have quite a few frags.

Thanks guys, Len sorry to heard that, Laura no growth at all, but the color on my frags looks better. Its time to change bulbs. I let you know about growth rates after that. Mountainbiker go for it, im in the hobby for about 15 years and never use a C/R and now i cant change it for nothing. I hate to drip Kalkwasser all days but now i dont have to. Im very happy with this C/R. Ralphyhp :wink:

Thanks Ralphy....glad the reactor is working out for you.... Nice looking corals there...

It is amazing the coralline that will grow. Your corals will start taking off next!

8O I don't have a calcium reactor, and I've alway had coraline covering the back walls of my tanks.
Len, are you dosing anything to take up the slack?

Thank you Andy, i still have in mind the skimmer, but first i have in mind a lightnin project. Jim i always have corallin without a C/R too. IMO, nobody need a C/R to keep coralline growth on their tank; just good Calcium and alkalinity parameters and good lightnin too, but when you keep SPS or LPS the calcium demand are bigger and you need to have in mind a good C/R or be a slave of the Kalkwasser or calcium products.
