hi all.. i'm having this issue.. the coraline in my tank are growing on the glass instead of on the rocks..

what could be wrong with this?

[/quot

Th a few thgs u need to ensure,

1)is ur lighting covers more of the rocks or glass area?

2)some liverocks takes longer time to grow coralline th others

3)patience is another consent,if u keep ur water parameters in check

U will hv ur corallines

4)add some coralline bits to ur rocks,this acts as a starter.

Just my humble knowledge,seniors pls add.

Adios!

Agreed, not all algae can really form in any surface. Good selection of rock is wise.

BTW it is a good sign as the algae form on glass, sometime it hard to cultivate them. I took about a year to form good coraline algae. Beside that do clean your glass often, say once every 2-3days. So as not giving a chance to let them grow there. This will force them to form some where u like it haha:thumbsup:

Good luck!
