Coraline Question

[costa13]

How long does it take for coraline to begin growing on the back of you tank.

Thanks in advance

 

[sign guy]

that depends on your cal and mag levals temp and kelven of light

why do you want them to grow on the glass?
My algae spreads on rocks pretty good but not on glass which is what I want.
I don't want to see algae on glass.
But I just spotted a few on glass now......errrhhhhhh....don't like that.

what kelvin does coraline like? I have a 14,000K MH. Does it also like high levels of calcium?

 

[sign guy]

14000 is good and yes alot of cal and mag.

Thanks for your help. I guess I will just have to wait and see when it starts to grow.

how old is your tank?
my tank is just 2 months now,
and purple stuff starts to popping up on glass.

If you want to speed the process up u could try some "Purple Up" Ive herd it works for some people.

I think I just want to let it happen naturally. Instead of using chemicals that could potentially cause something to go wrong. Thanks for you resposne though.
