![]() To get it bacterially active, 2-6 weeks. To get it purple, depends on a few factors:
1. Ionic stability - high and stable is best 2. Flow - high but indirect 3. Lighting - I've had good results with higher kelvin 4. Types of algaes - seed from other sources and crush them into your tank over the rocks

![]() I'd recommend a seeding product like Zeobak or that Dr. Tim's stuff.
Ca, kH, Mg, etc. Keep them elevated and keep them stable.
