Default Re: coraline algae?

Oh, if you want your coraline to TAKE OFF pick up a piece of your LR with coraline on it and run a serated knife up and down on the coraline. You'll notice that tiny particals will break off. I like to do this to my favorite kinds of coraline (the dark red).

I have done this many times and you will notice a coraline OUTBRAKE in about a week or two provided you calcium, mag, ph, alk are in check.

Oh and it seems that the lighter pink coraline loves to grow on glass. The dark red coraline doesn't grown on my glass at all, neither does the darker pink coraline.

Anyway, good luck!

Jason
