problems w/ coralline

[Anonymous]

Low/moderate light + Calcium + ALK = Coralline.

.

Thats the ticket right there. Once i started dosing Kalk and kept my Alk in check i noticed the corraline booming. Actinics really seem to get it going. Scraping it into the water column helps to spread it too.

really it is not that bad. it is not scary. it is scary when you miss use it. PH increase out the wah-zoo!

Kalk is best used with patients and water testing. Once you get a feel for kalk you feel very trusting and rely on it.

sloowww drips. I do about 1 drip every 3 seconds. My tank and your tank might be differnt. Calcium and Carbonate usages can vary from tank-to-tank.
