    DKH 9
    cal around 500
    mag 1500
    phosphates 0

    But these are the params I try to keep my tank at. Corraline also depends on amount of light and the rest of your water params. Eack tank is always a little different. I have had corraline in my tank for about 2months now and only till recently ahve my mag, cal and dkh been right. Just be patient

    Just be patient. It will take it's own sweet time and when it is ready it will pop up everywhere!

    Then, you'll remember fondly the days when you had none, as you reach for the glass scraper.

    It will grow. Do you have anything in the tank with coraline on it now? I have heard that if you scrap the coraline off of something with it on it then it will blow around the tank and will stick and start growing other places. Good luck

    It sure will, but beware you have no control over where it lands...it's a PAIN to scrape off the glass.
