My tank has been going for about a year and I'd like to get some coralline growing. Would anyone be willing to give up some scrapings? I'm on LI

How come you don't have any Caroline in your tank if it as been running for a year already? Did you purchase live rock or no?

I'm not sure how to get scrapings but I could probably help out with some coralline covered LR ruble to seed your tank.
I'm in Woodbury....right down Jericho Tpke.

Yeah I know. Lol I installed a refugium today I wanted to test prior but forgot. I'll do it in a few days as I need to test my parameters anyway after the addition.

If you don't use RO its very hard to get coralline to grow.
Just go to your local pet store get a small piece of LR and put it in front of the power head you'll have little dots of coralline in know time.

i dont necessarily agree with this....my first tank(20 hex fowlr) when i had first started out before i knew any better i used tap water and it grew wild in the tank however in my 55 which has been on RO water the coraline growth exploded at first and then slowed down to a crawl after i replaced my PC bulbs(maybe due to light shock?), i think it has more to do with the params and lighting in the tank to grow coraline
not trying to discredit you in any way custom05taco just inputting my personal experience

Coralline algae grows better when there isn't alot of extreme light, when I used T5 bulbs it was all over the place it grew like the plague. When I updated to MH lighting I still grow some here and there but even with 20k bulbs not NEARLY as much as I used to.
