    Agreed. I have not been running my white light T5 as a result and my coralline is popping up everywhere. When I had it on it would slowly die off.

    we should have a coralline thread here on 3 reef....pictures...maybe identify some species...care requirements....would be nice to have a better general understanding of it. Not much info out there....One thing to have it doing well, and another thing to understand whys some colors dominate etc...

    Yeah, i would really like to see my bright pink take off but it just shows up in spots then dies off or something eats it.

    The other thing, mechanical filters, as in pads, socks etc. If you have one(or a few) and change it (them) often I find they can rob coralline of too much "good stuff" in the water.
