We started seeing it at about two months in our large tank, cant get it to grow at all in our smaller reef. The parameters are almost identical...Go figure...4 months later and it has completely encrusted the bank of the tank with multiple layers of different shades of pink, purple, and red...We have to scrape it off of the front about once a month...The parameters have to be on the good side, including balanced alkalinity and calcium with the appropriate amount of iodine...Too much light initially could hinder growth... _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS
