I notice that too in my tank. I have 2 large shelf rocks, one is covered, one is completely bare. I'm blaming my rock

I am sure there is some scientific reason why that would happen, which you could blame, rather than your rock.

I have rocks that even after drying completely and cooking for a year or so, will STILL grow algae right away.

Some rocks seem to store phosphates (or whatever) considerably better than others.

At least in very anecdotal observation.

For last resort, try API - Alagefix Marine. You can buy it on amazon.com and they will ship to canada.
