I killed off my live rock with copper about a year ago. (Thanks fish dept. guy from PetSmart! ) Well, I've learned a lot since then and my tank is cruising along nicely now. I've added some more pieces of LR and Worm Rock to seed the coraline algea back. I have a handful of puple spots on some rocks but I'm trying to get it to break out and turn that beautiful purple color. I blow the rocks off regularly and I just recently learned the importance of General Hardness and Alkalinity as it corresponds to calcium level and the ability for coraline algea to grow. So my calcium is not at 495ppm and my Alkalinity was at 7. Pararmeters are now in line and I was wondering if there was anything else I can do to kick my purple in gear.
