Algae

[williemccall]

I am trying to get some coralline growing on my live rock. I bought some from the store, with a good amount of purple on it, along with some really nice dead rock. I then had some 15 year old rock from an active tank given to mr to add to it, and it has a brown algae that is now showing after I put it in my tank under my new lights. Is this good or bad algae and if so how can I remove it? Thanks

it sounds like diatoms and they quickly burn themselves off after they use up all the silicates in your water

Will it affect my coralline growth?

no it wont affect anything just give it a week or two and they will be gone
