If you can find some small pieces with purple on them just use them to seed the rest of your existing rock. A year ago I re-aquascaped my 210 with dead rock and kept 2 rocks with purple in the display. By keeping up with calcium and alkalinity it only took 3 months for the new rock to become completely covered in purple.

What do you do to maintain the Ca? Kalkwasser supplementation?

Depends on the demand, but kalk alone will work for building coralline algae.

I got some of my stuff from these guys: http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com/

Their base rock is exceptional if you're looking for artistic stacking.

The rest of my purple stuff I got from people on craigslist for good prices. Hope that helps!
