Purple Up is a fantastic product! I used it on my nano and loved the results.
You do not need it however. Keep your Calcium and Kh in line and the coraline will grow. Also I agree with a previous statement... get some rock or rubble with coraline and scrape some coraline off the rock, filters off, and let it settle. Lose the urchin as he will do it again if he has once.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |

From what I have read coraline likes Magnesium as well. try to keep your levels up along with you Calcium.

Agree with keeping your magnesium alkalinity and calcium in check. old readings says keep higher Kelvin is best. The days when the iwasaki 6500k was big.

I agree with Grizz. I've been pumping the magnesium hard to my tank lately and the coraline algae has really started to take off in my tank.

I have to agree with denny with the bluer lighting. About the only thing my led light grows is corline i can put it on the tank and within week or so its nuts the amount of coraline growth i get.

I recently changed out my 10K halides for 15's, and also bumped up my magnesium a lot to help with a HA problem. The Coraline algae is growing like CRAZY. I had only a few spots on the side glass last month, and now it is completely encrusted. same with my powerheads :S.
my Mag is at 1550-1600 now, was at 1250 before i bumped it up.
