I can't seem to get my coraline algae to spread. I have several pieces of LR and my water parameters have been great and constant for about two months now yet still no new growth. I add purple up about twice a week, and use RO/DI water with reef crystals salt.
parameters:
sal- 1.025
ph- 8.1
temp- 76 F
ammonia- 0ppm
nitrite- 0ppm
nitrate- <5ppm
phos- <5ppm
ca- 400ppm-420ppm
I have to scrape my glass about twice a week because of the brown algae build-up, but i never see any purple. Please help and tell me what I'm doing wrong.:help:
