+mcallahan Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Eh,,,,buy your rock dead from prof. I got my rock for my Solana from him and 1.5 mo later, the coraline is growing in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hydro Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Coraline grows WAAAAY faster under weak flourescent lighting than it does with MH or even strong flourescent lighting.....sounds crazy but its true. I had a 75 gallon setup with 2 rows of flourescent lighting over it and the coraline grew so fast that the tank looked purple and I was constantly scraping the glass to get it off. So if you are cycling your tank just put a small flourescent fixture on it and leave on for 18 hrs a day you will have coraline covered rocks in no time, I guarantee it. Shane at fishy business told me that once and I didn't believe him until I saw it for myself. I would get the dead rock too and just scrap you off some coraline from another tank and place it in the tank you cycle the rock in (20 gallon with a powerhead would be enough).
