Coralline Algae

[swabe3618]

I have mostly red and some pink...tad of purple that doesnt seem to be spreading. Im in the process of upgrading to a 125. I have some fresh base rock curing right now and wanted to seed it with some coralline, other than reds and pinks. If you live near wilkes-barre and plan on scraping your glass and have some other colors and would be willing to bag some for me please let me know. I can use it.

Thanks

If you come by Reading, PA anytime soon let me know and I can give you plenty of purple. Out of curiousity what kind of lights do you have? I noticed under my MH I get mostly purple, while people I know with T5s get a lot of pink... it may just be the different spectrum of lights making the coraline different colors? AKA add my purple to your tank and it will still end up pink... just a guess though.

Actually, im struggling to make up my mind if i want to switch over to MH or keep the T5's for the new tank. My biggest concern is the issue with heat. My tank is on a second floor and during the summer with just T5's my temp will get to 82 degrees w/o the A/C on. Im wondering what halides would raise the temp too. However, i was looking into running the halides in cool tubes and directly exhausting the heat outside. Im sure it would help a great deal.
