414driver Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 My 90 gallon got a good head start from 3 year old rock from Kat's old tank...and came into healthy parameters within 10 days. The rock had a considerable amount of pink corraline on it already. Bowing to the influence of the internet....I dropped 20# of garf grunge on top of the sand....I love love rubble look. Now I'm getting new colors every day.....even on some fresh rock I added. I've got 4-5 colors of coralline...from the original pink to bright red to several shades of purple. Last week a mossy green color started developing on the tops of the rocks....a textured covering like coralline. The last couple days a yellow shade has developed. Is this normal? Is it another version of coralline or something else?(scratch) It looks real cool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfisher Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 You know what's coming next don't you? Priceless! Even when you move a complete system that has the same sand, same rock, same livestock there may be a small cycle. When starting fresh, the system may go through 3 cycles of different algeas. Without seeing pic's, you may be going through a small cycle and are now "re growing" some yellow sponge? Best guess, chime in if I'm off path.
