I have to agree with fly guy.. But that said, I got good growth using bionic. Now that I have a calcium reactor for all of my sps, I can't keep coralline algea off of my "glass". Just a not that coralline can be a real pain in the butt to scrape off of acrylic.

Keep your Calcium up!, and get some and scrape it in the water to seed the tank.
