Help!

I think my coralline algae are reducing!

Is it part of the cycling process (cycling just started for 1 week)?

What should I do?

Thanks!

Bro, I don't think lighting is the problem.More like his calcium and carbonates.

Hi,

I din perform any testing yet (only 1 week of cycling), thought I only need to test after at least 2 weeks?

BTW, I only brought PH, NH4 NO2, No3 test kits.

Is it normal for coralline algae to reduce during cycling?

Thanks!

it is perfectly normal for the coraline algae on the rocks itself reducing during the cycling process...

Hi Alvin,

Thanks!

Been worried about this since last night.

But will they grow back after the cycling, with additive such as trace elements, marine builder, marine buffer?
