Coralline?

[littlehermit0]

For me, seeing coralline algae growing randomly on plastic or filter, it the happiest thing to see for me, the dark red tiny dots, are they coralline?

i know there's some brown algae, I'm gonna clean it soon

Try to blow it away with syringe or turkey baster. Coraline must be scraped off, cyano will blow away and is faster growing.

That's cyano??? It is dark I forgot cyano existed

I don't see coraline. Coraline will start as little pink dots and slowly grow bigger. That looks like diatoms or brown fuzz algae

That's probably cyano, the reason why I have so much nitrate

I saw this on my tank today. Wondering if its coralline?

Looks like an asterina starfish but can't really tell if it's coralline, if it's pink or red or green than yes

The edges look pink to me. The inside looks little greenish white.

If it's hard it's coralline

UPDATE

it's cyano... At least it's not everywhere but I'll wipe it off

 

[dwipayan83]

Wow. Am so happy. How long they take to grow from here? Actually I saw only one such spot.

Mine grows slowly but for you it will be probably faster, if it's on the glass which is rare your tank is healthy so within 1 or 2 weeks you'll see some difference, you guys are all lucky I wish my tank was very old full of coralline

 

[dwipayan83]

I have also ordered those pink bottles from arc. Once that arrives hope will make it faster as well.

"Coralline in a bottle" yeah people say it's very good for coralline grownth, I use ASF coralline booster, it helped a bit, my coralline died and then regrowed back
