Anyone have luck putting coralline shavings into their tank to promote growth??

[JTM4UG]

Wondering if this is a good way to jumpstart some in my tank. I currently have a few patches but id like it to grow a little faster.

I've heard of people doing this, but probably will take time like everything else. Let us know how yu make out if you do this.

First I need to find someone willing to ship me their tank scrapings.

why do you want it? it's a bother

I like how rocks look covered with it.

I think having the big 3 at proper levels will do this and nothing else.

Algaebarn started selling it recently. I've had nothing but good interactions with them so I'd be surprised if they backed a product that didn't do anything.

ARC reef who I think is the originator of Coralline in bottle, has these bottles available on their website at a lower cost (16.99) vs AlgaeBarn (22.00).

I ordered 3 from ARC reef just to give it a try.

I have some coming in as well to give it a try. Read a lot of good things about it.

One thing I have done is take coralline shavings from my own glass and mix them with the epoxy I use to glue frags. This makes the epoxy get quickly covered with corraline, so it looks better in the tank. No more ugly white epoxy globs in the tank.

I got these in My Aquarium Box at one point I think. If want to pick them up I'll give them to you.

I like how rocks look covered with it.

Covering the rocks with many different corals looks much much better than purple rocks

i simply got a small live rock covered with coraline from my lfs (ltr) placed it I’m my tank, kept my calcium up and now it’s everywhere. They say if you scrape the rock once and a while it’ll spread faster. Honestly there was no need.
