    Hey guys, I have a 90g reef and its about 10 weeks old now, there is a good 40lbs of fully established rock in there and about 30lbs of new rock, the new rock is starting to get a green look to it, not hair algae.. Does anyone know what or why this is, or what i can do about it?

    Could be most anything. FWIW, my coralline started off green then changed to purple over time.

    A little info about your tank- parameters, lighting, filtration, etc might also help.

    It would be great if you can share the pictures with the community members, so that we can provide you the perfect solution. I think this is also a kind of algae, which you may have seen at moist places in rainy seasons.
