How can I get coraline algae

[mbaeza64]

My tank is about 4 months old now and I don't have any coraline algae only a bit on some rocks any way I can speed up the spread?

The coraline will come. Keep the calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity up. If you really wanted to, you could add a product such as purple up. But really, it just takes time and decent parameters.

I have had my tank up for 6 months and I am just now getting coraline to grow on my glass like shaunv said it just takes time . I was told of you put in some big chunks of live rock covered in coraline it can help speed it up a little but not much

Keep the calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity up.

+1 to what Shaun said. I had to start dosing 2 part daily....once I did that coraline went crazy.

Solid, stable parameters are key. After that, it's just a matter of patience.
