What colour coraline algae do you have? I have the typical purple with a tiny bit of red, very tiny bit of green and some orange I seeded with from another tank. Would like some more colours like the greens & reds. Maybe some of us could swap scrapings to seed other colours? Either way curious the other colours you guys have?
I have piles of red, deep red, purple and small amounts of green and orange..
Some green, a bit of pink and the usual purple
I must say I started using Purple Up (calcium/aragonite supplement) about a month ago and have seen quite a wonderful increase in my pink/purple and even green Coraline algae.
Not a massive increase, but enough for me to say "Hey, check it out!"

I think an exchange is a wonderful idea!
Where and when?

They look like fish flops!!!lol
if the purple-up is a calcium supplement: would it help for other heavy calcium dependent residents as well (clams, hard corals, etc.)?
First test for anything before supplementing. Use a Ca supplement if it is low like Kent Turbo Calcium or another. There are liquid ones too. Got the cash and room for it get a Ca Reactor! :)
No room for a Ca reactor, sadly. My calcium levels are usually more than adequate. I need a weekly scape with a blade to keep the coraline off of the three visible sides of the tank.
I was just wondering about the effectiveness of the calicum in the purple up.
