Jan 17, 2012 #11 OP OP scottayy Aquarium Advice Addict Joined Mar 25, 2011 Messages 2,499 Location Indiana its turned a really bright green is it coralline? if so, will it turn purple?
Feb 26, 2012 #12 OP OP scottayy Aquarium Advice Addict Joined Mar 25, 2011 Messages 2,499 Location Indiana These things are just turning neon green. There's no purple. How can I get purple!? I had the LFS scrape off some coralline out of their tank to give to me but apparently this didn't work. It's been a few months.

Feb 26, 2012 #14 OP OP scottayy Aquarium Advice Addict Joined Mar 25, 2011 Messages 2,499 Location Indiana Is there a commercial product I can buy to get the purple stuff too? I like the bright green, but I'm jealous of people's purple in their tanks.
