@Steve Burton gave me some coralline scrapings from his tank last week. I’m still registering high nitrites with zero ammonia and 40ppm Nitrates but I think the coralline may be taking hold?
Coralline starting to grow?

Hard to tell. Is it possible to get a clear picture?
I will try. Is there a certain filter I should use to get a better picture?
White light setting is usually good to ID.
Ok Sadly I’m not proficient enough with these lights yet to figure out how to turn them on just white without messing up my program. Maybe when they turn off I can take a picture just with my camera flash. It’s basically just some brownish spots starting to form on some of the rock surfaces. It isn’t purple but I’m not sure if the coralline starts out purple at first?
I take a pair of yellow safety glasses. I guess it's a darker shade of yellow and take a picture through them it takes out the blue and brightens things up
I'll check it out when I'm there tomorrow but coralline usually start out as tiny pink or red specks. How long has the tank been set up at this point? I'd imagine you're do for some uglies pretty soon. No need to fret but even with a cycled tank, you'll still see diatoms and all the other not-so-great stuff.
I’m not sure if this is the first or second week. I remembered you were coming but didn’t think about that when I posted this lol..just a little scatterbrained!
This isn’t white but is it any better?

Not really.
Alrighty then!! I’ll just wait for my friend Justin to come tomorrow and give me his thoughts
Darn
i could be wrong but looks like diatoms to me on the first pic
No you are correct. New tank uglies, it was wishful thinking on my part because I seeded it with coralline from another members tank last week.
Don’t feel bad I’m on the same boat lolSimilar threads
