coraline algae question?

[txstud3231]

i have only had my 50 gallon reef going for about 5 months, but i still have seen any coraline algae growing. there is 150 watts of PC's on it. i have heard that ph can effect its ability to grow on my LR. my ph stays about 8.2.... any suggestions?

coraline algae needs to be introduced to the tank. If your live rock doesnt have any on it, then it wont spread. You need to find a really nice piece of rock that is already covered in coraline and put it in your tank. Blow a powerhead on in to spread the spores throughout your tank.
Lighting helps, but it seems to me that water quality affects coraline growth more
