    yeah a friend of mine told me that ...you will learn to hate coralline! I thought yeah right..it is so pretty! WELL, it is on my glass, my pumps. I have not only the purple but a green coraline. I am soaking my pumps in vinegar water very frequently and it is a royal pain!

    If you want it to grow:
    1. Keep Magnesium level up
    2. Calcium
    3. Purple up is an expensive way to do the above.
    4. Use a toothbrush to keep the front of rocks smooth... it likes smooth surfaces to get started.

    calcium, mag, alk, PO4, and nitrate all play an important part. Keep those in check and it will come
