    What is this stuff? It wont come off the rocks, not slimy or anything but its covering all the rocks pretty quicky and im even noticing it on the glass. Snails dont seem to be interrested in it. Maybe this is just normal in a new tank (3 months old)

    Thanks so much!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks like the green coralline, I usually see it before the purple stuff really sets in. :)

    Its finally turning purple =]

    It has takin a couple weeks, but its slowly turning purple! I think the lighting has a lot to do with it, which is why it isnt in your sump
