My 20GH is six months old. I just started to add corals. How do I know there is sufficient microbiome?

Your tank looks beautiful. I think the rocks still look a little too fresh to be considered “mature”, but if your parameters are all good then I’d safe it’s safe to add corals.

I was informed that the green calcium algae will turn purple. Although I would like for it to stay green. There are purple ink spots all over the rock. So purple the rocks will eventually be.

I personally prefer purple rocks. :D

Keep calcium and alkalinity at proper ranges and it will make your corals and coralline very happy.
