To everyone who says you can't grow coralline algae under metal halide lighting take a look at the size of this chunk I was able to remove from my back glass. The actual piece was much larger but it broke up into to many small chunks. These few larger chunks laying on my counter top are good enough to show my point.

Just incase the first massive coralline chunk didn't impress you, here is a second one even larger than the first one.

If your wondering thats an american ruler showing the size in inches.

For the rest of the world 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters.
