Dear marine aquarium enthusiasts, please share your experience on how to stimulate the growth of Carolina. It is currently not growing at all. The aquarium is 110 liters without a sump, with weekly water changes, a soft reef (everything is growing slowly, only Caulastrea is thriving), salinity is 1.030, and the water temperature is +27.

Thank you for the recommendation; receiving it from you is even more valuable since I know that your system also doesn't use Sampa. I understand that you are advising from personal experience, and your Carolina is growing beautifully.

Thank you for the kind words. For the growth of Carolina, several conditions are needed (based on personal observations). 1. The Carolina itself. Introduced from outside on a rock or through this supplement. 2. Suitable salt. It did not grow in Tropic Marin Pro Reef. It grew in Reef Crystal Pro Reef, but other undesirable lower algae also thrived. In Red Sea Pro Reef, Carolina grew excellently without being bothered by lower algae. If Red Sea runs out, I mix 50/50 Tropic Marin and Reef Crystal. 3. Light with a sufficient amount of blue and red (carefully). I repeat, these are purely my observations.
