Live rock getting green spots???

[Salty-Noob]

Is this normal?

 

[oceanparadise1]

those are incredible hulk rocks!

 

[Salty-Noob]

Does that mean they get green when angry? Haha...so it's all part of the rock?

 

[mike007]

Are you talking about that awesome hammer or the algae? Algae not too bad yet might want to keep a eye on excess nutrients.

 

[Salty-Noob]

Algae I'm guessing!!! Wait what hammer?...still new at this stuff trying to get all the names down

 

[that novice guy]

the hammer their talking about is the front coral in the first picture

 

[Salty-Noob]

I thought that was a purple tip frog spawn

 

[Reefing Madness]

Hammer is on the left, Frogspawn is on the right.

 

[Reefing Madness]

Whats your ALK, Calcium and MAG readings?

 

[Salty-Noob]

I truly do not know I don't know how to test for that? All I have is a kit a test my ammonia nitrate nitrite levels! I was just going to post something on that...as to how I go about it?

 

[that novice guy]

Well get a test kit for calc alk mag read the directions and test

 

[that novice guy]

Oh yea and I forgot to specify between the hammer and frogspawn

 

[Salty-Noob]

Ok cool I will get right on that? I knew I was missing something to test cuz I see everyone post there parameters and I'm like I don't have that

 

[Reefing Madness]

 

[Salty-Noob]

But still does anyone have an idea of what it might be? The green spots on my live rock

 

[that novice guy]

Yea the directions are pretty straight forward once you become more advanced with the hobby and get into harder corals you can get some hanna checkers so no more guessing what the colors is!

 

[Salty-Noob]

So colors indicate different things in tank?

 

[Reefing Madness]

Yes. You can actually get Green Coralline to grow. Just wasn't sure by the pics I was looking at.

 

[Salty-Noob]

Is it bad?

 

[Reefing Madness]

Coralline in any color isn't bad.
