...and hardly ANYWHERE else!

I would estimate that my 2 powerheads are 25% covered in Coralline but the rest of my tank is 2% covered. Is it normal for Coralline to develop on powerheads before showing up elsewhere? I'm guessing that it must like the flow!

Ive been noticing that purple coralline does not like high lighting. I have so far only seem a few examples of those who claim higher par with great coralline.
