If you keep your Ca, Mg, & dKH stable you will coralline growth on everything, so much it will be annoying.

From my experience if you raise the magnesium to 1400 you will get it.

I remember waiting to see coraline. I remember seeing it in my tank for the first time. You'll see it. Get those three parameters otty mentioned in desired ranges (among other important parameters) and stare at your tank. Welcome to 3REEF again. | |

Welcome to 3reef!  Ft. Lauderdale huh?? I may have to trade ya piece of my toadstool the next time I'm down that way! I finally got coralline to grow, but, merely by accident LOL I tried and tried for years now with a fowlr tank and well, I about o.d.'d my tank on Mg and got some scrapings from another 3reefer and I have little dots of it all over the place and one patch on the glass! Wooo Hooo! But, don't do it like I did. I doubt I'll ever have to buy Mg again. I bought it in bulk and added way too much....did lots of water changes and now it's back to normal with no harm done. _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?
