Adding Different Coralline Color
I have a lot of very nice looking purple coralline all throughout my rocks. That being said, I'd like to add a little variety with hopefully some green corallines. How big of a rock with green coralline on it would I need to add to add some green coralline to my tank? Any suggestions as to the best way of doing this? Thanks!

If you get a small rock and just scrap off the coralline into your water it will help it spread throughout your tank.

Ha if you lived by me I'd trade you; I have pretty much all green right now with very little purple.

I agree with what Luwe2008 suggested. Make sure that when you scrape the coralline off and into your tank, make sure you do a fair amount and in front of the powerhead. That will help it spread throughout your tank better.
