Dear All
At the beginning I would like to mentione that my salt aquarium is only 3 weeks old. I have actually two questions, namely:
1) As you can see on the picture of the live rock there is a purple coating. I was trying to find some new on the internet and the only reasonable explanation I found is that this might be calcareous algae. Please let me know if any of you has such case. From the source I found it is not anything I should be worried about. Just want to confirm this with more experienced collogues. The live rock is in the tank from the very beginning. Aquarium was started with the use of salt water from other mature aquarium a nd the rock had such coating from the very beginning, maybe less surface was covered but it was already on the rock when I put it in the tank .
2) Second questione I have is about my anemone. I have bought it from the same guy which I got the rock and salt water. Anemone in the very first moment I put it the tank on th rock moved closer to the outlet of the water form the filter and it is connected to the wall of the aquarium till today. After few days I have notice that the anemone started to excrete some king of slime. I have also noticed that on the side of the anemone there was some kind of crack/split. I have asked the person from I bought the anemone but he tild me that nothing bad is happening. I have also read that the anemone might split into two but usually people commented that this happened very fast. In ma case anemone is behaving like that since 3 weeks. Is there anything I need to worry about?
I would like to add that my NO3 level is still high probably due to immature tank it is on the level of circa. 100 mg/l ( ppm )
Thank you for all of the comments
