Looks more like a algae or bacterial bloom. Dry rock take some time to start growing coralline.Can I ask, what makes you say that?

I added an air stone to the return chamber, upgraded the return pump to a Sicce Syncra 2.0, added two random flow generators to 6” of loc line, added a Hydor Koralia 750/850 GPH powerhead, and added an In Tank fuge basket with Chaeto on a 12 hour light schedule opposite the DT lights. I also have an In Tank media basket with filter floss, two bags of Marine Pure gems, and an 11.7 oz bag of Chemi Pure Elite on the bottom shelf. The DT is dark from 10 pm to 7 am. I do 8 gallon weekly water changes every Saturday.Could be a bacterial or algae bloom.
I do not test calcium so I have no idea what my levels might be.Is your calcium droping?
When I introduced coraline to my tank and saw it starting to spread, less than what I see in your tank my CA started to drop, as the Coraline was consuming it.
IMO this would be a better indicator of Coraline vs something else.
I started with dry rock six weeks ago today.Looks more like a algae or bacterial bloom. Dry rock take some time to start growing coralline.
I use the API test kit. It’s a Bio cube 32. I use Fritz Reef Pro Mix in the red box. I test twice a week for PH, Nitrites, Nitrates, and Ammonia. I test salinity every two or three days.Maybe I missed it how big is the water volume?
Tank
Sump
Total.
What saltmix?
What are you testing for currently?
Thx.
I just ordered a couple of nice testers off of Amazon so if I start dosing calcium which of these products is best?Well, before corals I would invest in QUALITY test kits for.
Alk, Calcium, Magnesium, Salinity, PH, and P04.
These are must haves not options.
I recomend Hanna checkers.
I gather you already have an ATI test kit for Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ph.
I know its the unfun part of the hobby but alas its critical to keeping the tank alive.
You will have to do the research on those products.I just ordered a couple of nice testers off of Amazon so if I start dosing calcium which of these products is best?
