I finally have my calcium holding at 450 but my coralline algae is still growing very slowly. My calcium was hovering a little above 300. The article about coralline on this site says this:
Calcium: 380-450 ppm
Alkalinity: 2.8-4.3 meq/L, or 8-12 DKH
pH: 8.1-8.3
Magnesium: 1200-1400 ppm
Nutrients low
The article does not mention anything about iodine. Foster and Smith says coralline needs some trace iodine. Can this be measured?
My real question though is: has anyone followed a precise chemistry for coralline and then watched it grow like crazy?
