New coralline??

[subvillian]

Can anyone tell me or show me what new coralline growth would look like?? I got spots of purple on all my pieces. but one in perticular has lots of pink, reds and purple lightly spread allover it. SEE the others look like chunks of spores but this new growth looks like light spray paint. Is that the start of good Coralline growth???

NO! Just keep up with your calcium, do not dose unless needed!!! Keeping lights all day and night isn't good, you'll have a algae problem instead. You can help it seed other rocks by scraping the coraline algae with a sharp knife and spread the scraping with your powerhead, I scrap with my finger nails...lol....It's seeding my other rocks very well... :happyfish

I like Purple Up to increase the growth. Easy to dose the tank and from $11.99 - $16.99 a bottle it works. But it only works if you have existing Correline in the tank.
You can spread the Correline by scraping some off the other rock and use the Purple Up simultaneously.
