[podman1973]

I've noticed recently the coraline alge in my tank on the rocks is starteing to turn greenish or brown, and beging to die on the glass. Should I be concerned??

What is your calcium, Alk and magnesium reading?

Also moving this to the General reef aquaria forum.

Wait a minute here settle down. How new is your tank. 7 dkh is a little low however not that low. Its not crazy low. What are your calcium levels? That will be the main thing. You want to keep them in the range of 400 to 450. Dont do anything until you have tested those.

well i got all paramaters back in check ...but the cal. nvere droped below 420 everything is eating well so i guess all i can do is just wait and see

420 ppm Ca is fine. Don't worry and let it seek it's own level before you add anything else.
