Seeding My Tank with Coralline Algae help

[ReefKeeperNyc]

I had to take down my 40 Gallon Breeder Last year. It was up for about 4 years and was COVERED in coralline algae.

Since then i had to setup a 20 gallon temporarily, and now I have my custom acrylic setup.

However from all that the coralline has died off.

there are some patches of light pink, but i think it is just dead coralline.

Is there anywhere in NY I can get some frag plugs or scrapings of this pretty pink and purples? I am doing strictly FOWLR and dont want to get caught up buying coral frags yet since its new and they will surely not live long.

Thanks!

buy a piece of live rock with coraline.

I'll give you some flakes to seed your tank. I have some pink/purple kind that is easy to flake off my frag rack so it won't have anything else with it. You can see some on the bottom left of the photo in this post:

I live on UWS and work in LIC.

I wouldn't trust anyone's life rock. Get your parameters in check, I mean the big three and Coraline will come in no time.
Good luck.

What if there are no coralline spores living in my tank anymore?

does it come back from the dead? the areas that were purple and pink are all white now...

They are a few ways to introduce coralline algae. Like stated above. Here's other choice if you want to try.ARC Reef sells a bottle of spores and bacteria in a bottle. It's cost is $13.99 but around $20 with shipping. Amazon sells it and they site ARCreef.com.
