some fish stores will give or sell you coraline scrapings off their LR, you can just put them in and they'll release spores in your tank to help accelerate it a bit, even though if you just wait it'll eventually show up on it's own _________ 
24G JBJ Nano, 20# Live Sand, 40# Live Rock
Rose BTA, Kenya Tree, Frogspawn, Xenia, Shrooms, Green Candy Cane, Duncans
Blue/Green Chromis, 2x Black & White Percs, Dragon Goby, Six Line Wrasse, Mandarin Dragonette
58G Oceanic, 60# LS, 60 LR, Lots of goodies
Up and coming 90g stay tuned  | |

thanks gerrylynn | Do a search on the algae board for 'coraline.' There are many threads there on it.
From my experience if you raise the magnesium to 1400 you will get it.
Here is one thread: Coralline Growth | |
