So is green a part of coralline algae or the part of the process or just is it just that, green algae?

im just over 4 weeks now and ive seen no indication whatsoever of a new species of coralline in my tank. Still just the original light purple ive always had. I just added a phosphate reactor because ive always had a slight bit of nuisance algae, but nothing bad, and my original coralline still grew. Maybe with less phosphates, coralline will pick up. But up to this point, im not impressed my bottle got delivered during a frigid cold snap. @ARCreef said as long as it doesnt freeze, it would be fine. Maybe it did freeze at some point, before i got it, and i got a dud. I recently added a koralia to my tank, and it already has a little of my original purple coralline on it. So im starting to suspect my bottle was dead.any updates?
I’m getting a lot of growth. A lot of red but also a lot of bright green. It’s kinda concerning. I did not want green. I don’t know if it’s photosynthetic green algae or just from the bottle. Seems like other people are getting bright green on amazon review. I have the rocks under 7k bulbs so I guess we will see what happened when it’s under my led lighting.
So do you guys recommend trying this out?
It's working, I do have a lot of green coraline. I dont care for the green but thats just me. I talked with the owner and he said green is not in the bottle but everyone I have talked to that used it, it sure is... I do have purple and reds coming in. I also got a piece of coraline from my LFS.
Does it work? Sure! Just be ready for different colors then just purple.
If your not pleased with this method, try the Purple up to. I've had great result using that over the last 15 or so years. Also X2 on searching LFS's for snails and hermits that have purple on them. If they do, gently brush them in your DT with a toothbrush to spread the coraline.Great to see. I'm optimistic. I didn't know if greens were a form of coralline also so I emailed ARC to see about that. Appreciate the update.
Is purple up a booster only or is there spores in there too?If your not pleased with this method, try the Purple up to. I've had great result using that over the last 15 or so years.

I could have swore I read somewhere that it called out "all variety of colors" including green... you had someone tell you green wasnt in the bottle? I would 100% agree that every post I've seen has had some green in it.
The owner told me, no green just different colors of purple. I seen green in every tank. He wants me to send sample but I know what it is lol
