I hear ya. But I have 3 very plastic, coralline attracting powerheads. Zero purple.It won't be on the glass first. It covers plastic parts like powerheads first then rocks. Then glass.

How old is the tank? Did you seed it at all with the bottle stuff or scrapings?I hear ya. But I have 3 very plastic, coralline attracting powerheads. Zero purple.
Maybe a coralline algae business in your future. “Rock Star Strain”!$$$$$$$$$I've had to totally rip clean a tank due to coralline growth. It seems to grow completely out of control in my tanks. Anytime I start a new tank, I use existing rock that's got my rock star strain on it.
The tank is new. A year and a half old. 180g. And yes on purpleup and scrapings.How old is the tank? Did you seed it at all with the bottle stuff or scrapings?
My tank is a year. I've had coraline on the powerheads for 4 months but only recently started spreading on the rocks as my parameters stabilized. I think you are right in the window of opportunity now with your larger tank. As others mentioned, calcium and magnesium along with good lights. I think you will purple up soon.The tank is new.

Even better! A strain that would not attach to glass or plastic.I really wish there was a way to irradiate coralline for good .
once upon a time at the beginning we all prey for one day to have a little .
I hope you’re right. Have added coralline snail shells and chunks of live rock with it covering. We’ll see.My tank is a year.

You can keep it down, under control? I use 2 urchins in my 120. Recently one died and its comming back quickly. Need to get another. If I waIt a week to clean the front glass their are dots of it everywhere.I really wish there was a way to irradiate coralline for good .

Once I get the bigger tank up and running I may start shipping out vials of the "secret sauce", we'll see. I've given some to local reefers and they've had good success with it jamming their pumps and caking on equipment. BET YA WANT CORRALINE NOW EH?Maybe a coralline algae business in your future. “Rock Star Strain”!$$$$$$$$$
Purple cake and jam is all I want!!! LolOnce I get the bigger tank up and running I may start shipping out vials of the "secret sauce", we'll see. I've given some to local reefers and they've had good success with it jamming their pumps and caking on equipment. BET YA WANT CORRALINE NOW EH?
LOL, I add you to the list and hit you up if we can get the 100 gallon system to cake itself in purple.Purple cake and jam is all I want!!! Lol
Hilarious!!!LOL, I add you to the list and hit you up if we can get the 100 gallon system to cake itself in purple.
SHEETS??? Lol. What do you attribute that to?Great on rocks to keep nuisance algae from easily adhering to but other then that it's a pain. I have sheets of it falling off the back glass.
And I’ve done the reverse, taking from multiple local tanks an seeding mine. (Cricket sounds)I’ve had good luck taking samples from my tank and seeding other local tanks.
The odd thing about this is that a lot of people observe this. It’s like it loves black plastic…It won't be on the glass first. It covers plastic parts like powerheads first then rocks. Then glass.
