algae are of two types first nuisance algae
which emans its bad
and second one is benefical
which means its good for your aquarium
coralline algae is one of the benefical algaes
it comes in so few colors
purple pink red blue and grey
coralline algae can be in branching type which means it has branches
the other is encrusting type
which means it grows on surface of something
in most aquariums we see encrusting type of coralline algae
how to introduce coralline algae in aquarium
take a piece of live rock , frag plug ,hermit crab or snail
which has coralline on it just put it in your aquarium
if you want to see quick spread
srcrub the coralline out or that crab , snail or live rock
and mix it in your aquarium water
and take out the sponge or polyfilter out of your tank for 3 - 4 days
so coralline algae may not filter out of your aquarium
to grow coralline algae you need 3 things
1 introduce coralline algae into your aquarium
2 it needs a source of light to survive and grow
3 your aquarium must have to contain these elements
calcium ,magniusm,alklinity needs to be on certain level
calcium i would recommend between 420-450
alklinty should in between 8-10 dkh
will definaitly help in fast growth of coralline
magniusm shouold set around 1300-1400ppm
it will be good for your aquarium and the coraline algae will colour up nicely
all those salts which are benefical to coral they are also good for coralline
some people ask that their aquarium was use to have too much coralline
and slowly gradually it decreased to zero again
why ? the answer is
when the coralline algae started growing in your tank
it started consuming calcium , magnisium and alklinity
and these elements started deplete in in your aquarium
lack of these elements caused death of coralline in your tank
when you will restart dosing in your aquarium
and will raise calcium , magnisium and alklinity
coralline algae will start to grow again after some time
the light will is good for corals is also good for coralline algae
so here i sums up
if you want to grow coralline algae
you have to provide it same things which you provid to a coral
but coralline algae is very easy to grow in competion to corals
how long coralline algae takes to appear ?
