I just went out and bought some more live rock from the local pet store they said they get their rock from fiji, thank god it wasn't Florida's I've heard bad things about florida's rocks and parasites, but anyways I was wondering this piece of rock has a TON of what looks like little coral budding out of it. How can I increase the growing speed, currently I'm adding about 1/2 tsp. of calcium everyday, i quit using phyto-plex because I was getting high nitrite levels with it. Any suggestions, oh... and I talked to a guy at Exotic Aquatics (very knowledgable) and I told them what type of setup i had for my little 20 gallon and the guy said i should be able to keep a mini reef and maybe an anenome as long as i don't go fish crazy. He also said that most 20 gallon setups aren't reef safe well at least the ones he's seen. Was he just trying to sell me some coral and anenome or could i keep a 20 gallon reef tank? I would gladly give up my damsels for some pretty coral and 2 fish.
