Something Crazy Happened With My Coraline In a Bottle!!!

[Malifry97]

Is it especially crazy and weird that ONE NIGHT after adding my coraline in a bottle (purple helix from amazon) I ALREADY have distinctly attached “pimples” of coraline on my glass...I have about 3

So funny you mentioned this. I just decided to try the ARC Purple Helix and Pink. Should arrive soon. Just had to scrub all rocks and re-set all aquascape because of an hair algae outbreak. I am fishless, so no idea where stuff is coming from. I think my salt. I have since changed salts and will hopefully begin to see improvement. Takes time with 280g.

I hope mine works fast too. It is suppose to contain actual coralline (CCA) instead of just the trace elements to encourage it. Super excited to try both kinds.

It does have real flakes of coralline...the funny thing is that I had just filled my tank...then I figured “what the heck” and there in about 1/4 of bottle and I Already have pimples!

Does anyone have any thoughts on how this is possible as the bottle says it takes 6-8 weeks?

Did you shake it and shake it well ?? Sounds like clumps from solution.

I shook it for a good minute...i don’t think it is clumps as it is literally attached to the glass

UPDATE: I now have 6-8 spots on the glass after morning 3!

And pretty soon you'll be cursing the day you dumped that in your tank. May not be tomorrow or next month, but trust me, you will be cursing eventually.
