Hey Guys,
Got a question about what's going on in my tank. 1/02parameters are fine- phos reading under 0/ppm, calcium in the 420 range, 8.2 ph, Nitrates 0/ppm. 1/023 S.G., 78-79 temp.
Here's my thing- the base rock is turning lime green- some have a purple tint others have a green (lime) tint and on the back wall I have some pencil eraser sized algae forming. It looks as it would if coralline was growing, but there's no purple tint to it. Any idea or way I can ID what it is?
Also- there's some maroon spotting on the rocks- doesn't look like red slime, just spots! But they're popping up all over. I'm posting some pics- so everyone can chime in. I'm guessing it's just a maroon coralline- I took a shell off with it on it and could not scrape it off!!!
Just want to be sure, cause at this point, if it is something bad- at least it's manageable.
Thanks in advance
