Right now I've got 4 pieces of LR that had a little bit of coralline growth when I first got them. Right now they're all under a 65w PC light & a standard FLO bulb.
Over the last 2 months or so the growth has really seemed to pickup & I can imagine at it's current growth it could easily cover the rocks in a little over a year.
I have a 4x54w T5 setup coming in & I'm concerned that the increased lighting might slow the coralline's growth. Could that happen or am I worried for no reason?
The reason I'm asking is because I hear so many people have issues getting good coralline growth, but I've managed to get a good bit of it to grow under what is considered less than ideal conditions in just a matter of months.
Thanks for any input.
If anyone's wondering- I've got some green, some red, & a lot of purple growing. I've got one rock that I call my joker rock because it's white with green & purple coralline growing on it.
