Coraline Algae has to be introduced for it to grow. Do you already have it in there?

Don't look like u have any in there to seed it..

 

[msuhaizie]

I still have no coralline algae.. My tank looks unnatural.. It makes me feel worried if my tank is not in suitable condition..

 

[msuhaizie]

Is there any problem if i dont have it?

 

[Adio800]

Did u have any on the live rock u bought??

 

[msuhaizie]

Yup.. I got around 10pounds of live rock.. What should i do now to make my tank looks natural? I want coralline algae.. Huhss..

 

[Adio800]

Well if the live rock u bought had the purple coraline on it then it should grow

 

[msuhaizie]

How long should i wait?

 

[Adio800]

If it's not already growing u might need to buy some smaller rubble that has it growing in it

Would GARF Grunge be a good idea?

 

[redsea]

I like your tank! Good job!

 

[Adio800]

U need to buy rubble rock with it on it then it will speard

 

[msuhaizie]

What do u mean by rubble rock? Sorry i'm new fir this marine tank.. Huuu

Do you have any friends with sw tanks that you could scrape some coraline algae off the glass or even some rock.

Rock rubble is small pieces of rock that sometimes have coraline algae on it.

Your tanks looks good give it awhile and it will even look better.

I hv no freinds with salt water tank.. Should i buy some pounds of live rock dat consist of coralline algae or i just wait for a few months?

 

[joy13]

I have actually found snails with coraline algae growing on them you only need a little bit for it to take off.

 

[Adio800]

U don't need pounds of rock just a little bit and it will take off

 

[msuhaizie]

Coralline algae still not appear.. Huhsss.. Is there any effect if i'm not using metal halide or t5 light to grow coralline algae? I'm just using normal white light.. Answer me plz.. My tank look weird without coralline algae(looks not natural) even i already hv rubble rock and some of it that i get it when i bought lps coral.. Its not spread.. My tank already set up is about 3mnths..
