Reefing newb
I'm new to the site. I found it because I was researching about coral. It's pretty cool. I have a question for you guys. I'm upgrading my tank to reef status. I have a 150G tank that has been live rock and fish for a year. I just finally was able to get two used 250W 20K halides over it and I was really hoping the live rocks would get some more colorful coraline algae. (One used bulb and one new one and the light is really blue-whitish which looks great by the way) Instead all of my rocks have turned plain old brown. Seriously its like they have been cursed. I am planning on putting some corals in but what about my shady brown rocks? Is it bad algae?
