I started my tanks a month ago using turbo start and phantom feeding. Been testing water and it's where I need to be, I put a sw guppy in one and a little chromi in the other , so far so good been about a week maybe. Anyway, I ordered some pieces of corraline algae 2 days ago and crushed it up and sprinkled it in. Not I have a light pink spot in the sand. Could I have taken that quickly? I was expecting it to take weeks or months.
Edit, worth noting: I started with dry rock and dry pulverized limestone substrate. The dry rock was in a freshwater soak for 24 hours as well. Brand new tanks. All new equipment at startup. All new filter media.
