3 months old. Just some softies. No Coralline yet.

I would go to the lfs and buy a small tennis ball live rock covered in coralline. Take a hammer to it and pulverize the coralline and spread into your sump. You will see little spots popping up everywhere within a week or two.

My LFS doesn't have good looking LR. Also, it is more costly.

Buy frags with coralline on them, at this point you dont want to add anymore lr to your tank because of pest. in my opinion, at 3 months, if you have some kind of existing coralline already, you should start seeing small spots of coralline on your glass and will be harder to spot on your rocks.

For 6.99 you can sacrifice the piece you get. Putting a single piece in there will develop the coralline slowly. Crushed up, you seed everything. Fastest way to get the coralline throughout. Did that at the start and have completely purple rocks.

Yes, buying a live rock with coraline on it is one option. How about the cluster of coraline that I mentioned in the first post. What is wrong with this approach?

Thats what i was saying. The cluster is cheap. just crush it up also.
