First, Follow our online instructions to the T on how to prep your rock (Click Here for a Free Print Out)

Second, you “Must” have a minimum of 5 watts total lighting per gallon of water (ie. A 100 Gallon Tank would require ideally 500w-800w lighting).  50% of this total should range from 5500K too 14K Kelvin Rating.  The other 50% of this total “Must Be” Super Actenic 03 lighting!  Now, with this lighting, simply maintain manufacturer suggested levels for your specific reef or fish tank of four (4) primary chemicals! 

·         Iodine

·         Strontium

·         Molybdenum

·         Liquid Calcium (at a 450 reading on your calcium test kit)

That’s it, your set to go and with these few tips, your rock will flourish with purple coralline algae!  Hope this helps and let us know if we can be further help again in the future.
