Buy some rock with it already on. It worked for me.

test calcium, mag, alk, levels. Once your calcium is up between 400 and 450 you should get some really nice coraline growth.

its all a matter of time and patience---I am not a fan of dosing for coralline with products like purple up

Good but moderate lighting and calcium 400ppm+, alkalinity3.5+ and magnesium 1300+. In my experience , I get quicker coraline growth under pcs and or actinics than intrense mh lighting.
