Hi everyone,

i am new and still at the buying of equipment stage to set up my marine tank. As converting my 10 gallon 1.5ft FW tank to marine.

i went to irwarna, golden octopus and i have not seen the type of dead rocks below like white in color and such. And i have not seen a Live rock that is substantially covered in coraline algae. My plan is to have multiple dead rocks and maybe one or 2 live rocks covered in coraline algae so it will spread afterwards. I know i need live sand but just want to reduce the chances of getting pest from buying all live rocks.

any idea where i can buy these type white dead rocks and live rocks that is at least 50% covered in coraline algae ?

as most of the marine LFS is abit inaccesible to go to dont want to waste time to go there and cant find what i am looking for.

Another option:

Buy all dead rocks. Get the cycling done.

Then buy a piece of small live rock full of Coraline algae and then grate the Coraline algae at high flow area (turn off skimmer), let the Coraline grates spread. In few weeks you should notice Coraline start growing everywhere.
