Juyce Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 i live in philly too have you tried going up to the hidden reef or the fish factory in bristol? they have plenty of it with lots of coraline. Srry i cant spare any rocks in my tank lol. Link to comment
Magiksurfman Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Coraline is one of those algae you want when you don't have but hate when you have to clean up. I personally wouldn't worry about speeding up growth but it does well in conditions you need for other algae and especially hard corals, so make sure your water perams are good, especially check your cal alk and mag levels before you start getting frustrated with why it isn't growing. you don't need much to seed your tank but i recommend you putting it in a high flow area that like your overflow box or in front of your power-head rather than crushing it up dusting it around your tank and having it be sucked up by your skimmer.

mndfreeze Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Just go to a local LFS and buy a tiny piece of coraline covered live rock out of their bins. Toothbrush it right in the stream of a powerhead into your tank and it will spread on its own. Once it gets in your tank you will never get it out. Link to comment

alfiefive Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Alternatively you could find some corraline-covered snails to introduce to your tank This is how it was introduced into my tank. Link to comment
