I've had my tank running for perhaps 2 months now, cycle is complete, and am in the middle of a diatom bloom. Calcium is about 420, alk is about 3.9 meq/l. Salinity is 1.0225, and I dose perhaps 3 quarts of kalk every night. Lighing is 1 20 watt actinic tube, and one 10k tube, both bulbs are rather old though. My live rock has the most gorgeous maroon and purple coralline on it, and SOME of it is showing a white border around it, but not all, and it doesn't seem to have colonized my base rock or the tank walls yet. What suggestions do you experienced folk have to get coralline growing? I add a capful of coral vital every week because it claims to promote coralline growth, but am starting to think this is just another snake oil that "the man" uses to part me from my cash. I also dose with Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium, about 1 level scoop per day.
