try purple up. and the reason that it grows on the back of the tank is because thats where you dont clean it so it builds up there

Your tank looks very good just be patient do you water changes and the coraline will come. Get a real good piece of lr and scrape the coraline off it in the tank to help seed quicker

Agreed. This is what I did when I was starting and it seemed to work for me.
