    My rock seems to be getting some spots of purple/pink growth on them. I think it coraline. Is it possible that coraline is growing at 2 months? I started all base rocks and seeded with coraline.

    Hermits will also wreck havoc on diatoms.

    Sure is, I had a burst of coralline growth while I was away last week. The tank has only been up for 6 weeks

    Congrats! I noticed my coralline on the walls and Loc-Line I had in the tank before the rock. Just keep the parameters rock steady and it will keep growing. That is a good sign that the tank is ready to start adding inhabitants. If they are big fish only add 1 every 2 weeks to allow the bacteria to develope.
