Just keep the calcium, ph, and kh where they belong and it will grow.

 

[ryanhayes9]

You will also need to introduce it into your system.

Yes. Just get a piece of LR and put it in. I didn't know you had to introduce it until now.

 

[snapperboy]

after you "seed" with a piece of lr you can also dose with PURPLE UP Coralline acellerator

would that work

 

[ryanhayes9]

hurt the fish?

 

[fishy?]

Not at all, I used it in my tank, spead up the whole process, 100% organic, no chemicals, ur best investment, and its usually only 5.99 a bottle (treats 50 gallons!)

 

[ryanhayes9]

do i have to have lr with coraline for it to work?

 

[fishy?]

You do have to have some coraline already growing for it to acellerate it!

This might be a stupid question, but does it work for all coraline or just the purple? I like to see the light greens and stuff more also.
