I had Marcos dry rock with a new tank in march of 2011. It takes time but mine look like they are about 30% covered. 180 gal 225 lbs rock

Here's my 100gallon. Started September 2011 with all dry rock and sand and the bottom shot was taken this month. I have to dose 2 part to prevent any swings at this point. Coralline algae is growing rapidly.
