is it true?

[lcstorc]

I added 10 lbs of cured liverock with a good variety of corralines (pink, purple, red, plating) into a 48 gallon and i had no spike in ammonia, all my base rock has corraline growing only 2 months later. No supplementation of ca or alk.

you def don't need 10 lbs, but it helps with filtration too..

yes, coralline is one of the "good algaes", It can grow under fairly low light...I had some growing in my 'fuge with that 36W PC(Power Compact) that fell in...
