I am trying to get a jump start on my live rock for the main 220 gal tank. I bought some metal halide fixtures today and I have about 50 lbs of dead branch coral that came with the tank when I bought it. The branch coral is dry and has no life in it at all.. its actually all pretty brownish white.. It may be another month or so before I can get the display tank up an running so I was thinking about buying a 100 gal rubber made tub and trying to start growing some Coraline algae.. My question is what is the best way to go about doing this ?? I am a total noob when it comes to live rock so.. I know I can go local and buy some pieces to help get the process going.. I am hoping some one can break it down for my step by step and help me get this thing going ASAP.. I also just picked up some sand from a guy that he was useing in his 300 so it is still moist and I was thinking about throwing it in the bottom to get it going as well...
