So another newbie question. Tank up and going for a couple months now. I've gone through various stages of algae blooms, but it was mostly all gone. Couple days ago I upped my lighting time, because I'm starting to add corals. Today I noticed all my rock is starting to go a shade of green. I do have some coralline spots starting, but not a ton. Am I headed for a bad algae outbreak? ------------- Jeff Martin |

A green shade on the rocks is pretty normal.
Does it look like this?
 Edit: BTW it isn't something to worry about
 2nd Edit: A lot of it will turn to coraline over the next several months. YAY! Signs of a happy tank.  When are we gonna see full tank pics?------------- "What we know from this hobby is too hard to share with the people who just want to look and not get wet." -Rioreefer "The Puffer Girl" Zoo freak :) West Jordan |

well all right. It's not as heavy and bright as the picture, but similar. I'll post pics of a full tank when it actually somewhat "full" - looking forward to frag fest. My wife mocks how much time I spend looking at bare rocks. ------------- Jeff Martin |

It is amazing the things you will find by staring at bare rocks.
