Flow And Coralline Growth

[rhythmicfire]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how important water circulation in the tank is when it comes to growing coralline algae. Right now the only water movement I have in my 35 fowlr is the out take of my canister filter, and the out take of my cpr bak pak. Do I need powerheads mounted in my tank?

If it were my tank, I'd have more water flow although that's not likely what's hindering your coraline algae. Coraline algae thrives when alkalinity and calcium are both high.

Agreed..high calcium and good lighting. SH
