Lol last thing he needs is someone else spoiling and blowing his head up:) Already big enough literally and figuratively haha
 
I have a question for you guys, My wife read last night that you have to seed Coraline. I thought it would eventually just grow and that was a sign of a mature stable tank. But if you start will all dry rock she read you have to seed.
True??
 
It is lovely when a plan finally falls into place:D Well done sir. We are looking in to buying this house. Id like to totally gut my fish room and start over with tile or maybe even seal the concrete with that waterproof slip stuff. Have big plans but don't want to do too much more until we know what's going to happen.
I do know that whatever happens im going to have a dedicated fish room.

I used the epoxy garage floor paint and it worked well. Stank for quit a while but spills just wipe right up.
I agree, dont dump a bunch of money in it just to decide to move.

For sure man. I'm getting antsy though lol. So much I want to do still. For now I'm just kinda fiddling and trying to get things as dialed as possible so when the day comes it should be a good transition im hoping.

Far as seeding coraline I have 0 experience with that. It just showed up on my live rock and spread through the system. I am curious to what others have to say as im thinking about seeding mine as well. Soon as I get turf scrubbers dialed I wanted to seed mine to help get tables covered so the nasties can't grow.

Most coralline 'seeding' products don't actually contain any of the algae, that would be very difficult to preserve long term. Rather, they are a mix of supplements that are tailored to best boost the growth of coralline in your system. I started my tank with mostly dry rock and a few pieces of live, and by now (started last september) about 30% of the rock surface is covered, not counting the the back glass which at one point was near entirely pink. So you could honestly just get a few frags with coralline on them and wait for it to encrust with good enough results, but it would take a while.
My favorite method for spreading coralline is getting pincushion urchins. They try to eat it, but most of what they crack off the rock floats through to water and starts growing somewhere else, essentially doubling or tripling the original range of the algae.
 
yeah..if you can get it..seed it..but not from a bottle..jmo.. :)
