I’ve tried several of different methods of encouraging healthy pink and purple algae’s in my tank for past 1 1/2 and not getting much growth ? I’ve got a lot of questions lol

What all have you tried? Did you mean to put 1 1/2 months? What are you water parameters? How long has your aquarium been up? -RavenI’ve tried several of different methods of encouraging healthy pink and purple algae’s in my tank for past 1 1/2 and not getting much growth ?

Out of curiosity do you have any limpets (small, pointy shell). I too was/am devoid of coralline for years despite healthy coral growth. Turns out certain species thrive on it as a food source. Hard to tell from the pic but your back wall almost looks like you have them
Is your tank 1 1/2 months old? If so it’s generally too early. You need 3 months or more and stable parameters, especially Ca and Alkalinity
sorry Ive had tank for only 1 year this month now that I looked it up . I meant 1 1/2 year .I’ve tried several of different methods of encouraging healthy pink and purple algae’s in my tank for past 1 1/2 and not getting much growth ? I’ve got a lot of questions lol
That’s an old wise tale… I’ve seen crazy Sps tanks with zero corraline! Mostly low nutrient systems.. I’ve never had much luck with corraline but have kept Sps for years! Including right now..2 of my SPS with evidence of encrusting onto my rocks over time ? I thought you were supposed to get the coralline to grow and then you were ready to get sps corals that will encrust and grow with your Ca Mg Alk ph baselines you keep right ? I ordered two shells with encrusting coralline on eBay and shld be here any day. I plan to crush in blender and turn off pumps for a while .
