Coralline Algae in the tank

[ChrisKSB]

Wasn't really striving or waiting for some pink algae to show up....but was actually kind of excited when I spotted a bunch of spots on the wall and a patch on one of my rocks today!

Hopefully it will take over all the ugly green algae covering all of my rocks!

I guess this means water quality is heading to a decent coral supporting chemistry!

Congrats! Did you add any coralline algae additive or seed it? Started with dry rock?

It was really exciting the 1st time we saw coraline in our tanks

What numbers do you try to hold your alk, cal, and mag?

Yes you are going in the right direction....................Wait until its all over your glass then it becomes a love/hate relationship

@Jaebster - We didn't add anything...we do have a Turbo Snail thats covered in it though... Started with mostly Life Rock and a couple Live Rocks and Live Sand.

@MERKEY - I have only tested my levels of Alk, Cal and Mag once... Tank is young and initially I was only monitoring Ammonia Nitrite/Nitrate PH etc...
