I'm back with a question guys!

So I bought a new 10lb piece of dry rock,purple up and a calcium tester.
Asside from dosing with purple up and using my wave maker to blow over the established corraline algae rocks towards the new dry piece,is there anything else that I can do to help the corraline algae transfer to new rock? FYI....I added the sump refuge photo because my caulerpa is doing so well,lol.

Just give it time

How long can this process take? We talking years?

Buy test kits. Keep your calcium, alkalinity and magnesium within proper parameters and keep your organic nutrients low. Six months to a year and everything should be covered.

Nothing in this hobby is quick. Try to force it and things backfire.

I'm not trying to rush it by any means. I was simply curious. The wait is the best part for me. Seeing everything come to life over time and happy fish is a beautiful feeling. Thank you for the info.

You definitely won't be rushing things when you start seeing coraline growing on your glass and equipment. It is not easy to get off. LOL
