thanks, but how much lr is too much to add to your system with fish, at once?

I have coralline algae growing on my hermit crab shells. It's only a matter of time before it starts shooting off everywhere else

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..

-thanks

DaBird · 04-04-2007, 10:05 PM

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...
