    Hi, I have a saltwater aquarium that was doing great, but I recently moved and been having some issues since. I had a lot of puprles/red coraline algae, but notice it has been dying off recently. Went to LFS and they recommeded I check water parameters (which I did, I know out of whack) but...

    Good news... bad news. Tank was set up on 12-3-16. Went through a serious stage of hair algae. It was everywhere and long! Now it is all gone and the coraline algae has been growing like crazy on everything, including the glass. It doesn't come off the glass with the magnet cleaner, and...

    When I bought my live rock about a year ago it was very developed with purple coraline algae. I have dosed calcium since day one and always maintain it at about 450. The purple coraline algae has exploded in my tank and covered my pumps, back glass, shells, etc. The only problem is that all the...

    When I set up my tank almost 2 months back I purchased a piece of live rock that was covered in purple coraline algae. Since then it has started spreading through the rest of my rock & onto my glass. It really brightens things up as ivno corals etc yet but can too much of it have a negative...

    Hi All, Not sure what this is. At first I thought it was coraline algae growing on the black silcone in my tank, but it looks different than the purple spots growing on my back wall. Each bump is raised and they are all the same size and shape and whitish grey. Are these snail eggs or is this...

    I have never been able to get coraline algea to grow. My 55 was running for a year before I upgraded it to the 100 gallon, and nothing. So on my 100 gallon build I made sure to get a football sized rock with it on it. Then I had a friend give me scrapings from his tank. Still nothing. What...

    Does anyone know what these things are? They are all over my tank and refug. I don't think there causing any problems. I was just curious. I'm thinking maybe it's a type of coraline algae but I've never seen it appear in clusters like this. Plus it's sort of soft and fleshy to the touch.....

    Hi TRT- I'm just curious after you've set up a new tank and started it out with minimal live rock...how long did it take before you started seeing Coralline Algae develop? I started my tank about 6 weeks ago with mostly dry rock and scraped some coraline off a pretty nice piece and it's...
