Hello. My 32g tank has been running for about 10 months now and I see some signs of coralline algae on the powerheads. I do a pretty good job of keeping up with regular maintenance (20% water changes once a week). However, my rocks don’t appear to be growing coralline algae. They do tend to have lots of algae that comes off with a turkey baster. Does anyone have advice? I haven’t tested my water in a while…I could be more involved with my tank but it’s been hard for me to motivate during the winter season. I have a hammer that is doing very well and a few zoas and a GSP on the back wall. The zoas are struggling. I do have a few fish but definitely need more.
