That looks amazing. Is that red coraline?

 

[fisheebill]

What a great 20 gal tank. Nice job! Well planned tank.

 

[Travis Savant]

Yes, Red Coralline.

 

[InvaderJim]

That's so weird that you have red coralline and no purple.

 

[Travis Savant]

I have some purple, and even green, but mostly red.

 

[InvaderJim]

That's really interesting. First time I have ever seen that. Wonder what caused it.

 

[saltycreefer]

Nice red coralline!

 

[Bmgrocks]

how do you promote the growth of coraline algae??

 

[sophia101]

Wow, that is one gorgeous looking tank! Look at the beauty when you are patient Nice job Travis!

Bmgrocks, for the most part coraline algae will start growing eventually when you have your normal light cycle in the tank. You can also buy supplements that promote coraline algae growth. Its hard to say what color it will be tho and I cannot say for sure that the supplment will do anything. Just be patient and you can have a tank like Travis's tank Good Luck & Merry x-mas everyone!

 

[Travis Savant]

Not sure what caused the red coralline, one of the first rocks that I added was covered in it and it spread to the rest of the rocks, it's really a fast grower as compaired to purple coralline.

?

?

does that red coralline grow on base rock as well as live rock?

 

[Lagger]

Nice tank! :thumbsup:

Is that an Anthia in there?!? :hmm2:

 

[Travis Savant]

No, no Anthia in there.

The Base rock was turned into Live Rock after a few months of both being in the tank together.

 

[rowland75]

Cool tank

I only see a clown and chromis though.

 

[Trip 22]

Wow...simply amazing! Good Job....I really like the clown

 

[Travis Savant]

The other fish are rock hugers lol.

 

[lessthanlights]

what is the bottom and what kind of lighting do you have?

 

[Travis Savant]

Starboard on the bottom.

I have the tank lit by a 4x24w T5HO CA fixture.

 

[Gundo5000]

Very nice!
