You can't put a time frame on it.... but it will happen.

in about a year or a month?

I think its anywhere betwenn 3 to 6 months, maybe a little longer, but i doubt it. Todd

You can use a toothbrush or something to scrape the existing coraline algae so the spores will set up on the base rock.

I've heard 6 months to a year, but as bigarn said there is no exact timeframe. The trick Bill F mentioned should help expedite the process.
