Best Parameters for Coralline

[Megability]

I’m starting a new tank from scratch and want a lot of coralline on my new dry Marcorocks I used, I’ve used 2 bottles of the Arc Helix and already see coralline starting but what are the best parameters to help it as much as possible?

I’ve read many articles and they say stuff like they want alkalinity 8-12 and pH between 7.8-8.2, but those are very wide ranges…

So, using those 2 parameters as the main ones do you think they like higher alkalinity and pH, my guess, or the lower end?

Or anything else I should focus on?

Thanks

Calcium, alk, and magnesium all have to be in range, nitrates and phosphates not outrageously high, and most importantly a PH that is consistently 8.1 or higher.

Edit: also have to introduce live coralline and provide lighting.

Here are the parameters that we typically recommend and pulled this list from our blog on coralline

• Nitrates <1.0 ppm.
• Phosphates <0.05 ppm
• pH values of 8.2-8.3.
• Alkalinity ~10 dKH.
• Calcium 415-425 ppm.
• Magnesium ~1,250 ppm.
• Potassium ~400 ppm.
• Total iodine ~0.06 ppm

Thank you @AlgaeBarn that is what I was assuming too, on the higher end of pH and alkalinity helps - only makes sense…

The best parameter is stability! Get everything where corals would be happy and keep it there!
coraline does seem overly sensitive to salinity and temp swings though

You're very welcome!
