Tuff Stuff and Coraline

kbaker721 · 09/29/2008, 06:25 PM

I was making some rock structures using Tuff stuff. I know I can epoxy the yellow tuff stuff and put cc or some other substance on it. If I didn't want to do that , would/does coraline grow on the tuff stuff? Does it take longer than normal? I have always had great luck getting coraline on dead/base rock etc., and if the coraline grows as easily on the tuff stuff I will probably leave it be and let "nature" take its course. THANKS

IME coralline grows on anything in the tank. I would assume that it would grow on tuff stuff. It might just tank longer to get to it. Maybe try incoporating so coralline encrusted rock into the new structure to help "seed" (for lack of better word) it.
