I had read that you can seed your tank with coralline. Supposedly you turn off your water movement/filters then take a piece for coralline covered rock and shave off the coralline and scatter it throughout the tank. Wait for it to settle in the other rocks and substrate the turn on everything again. This is just what I've read.

In addition to what electrikat said, maintain your CA between 350-450 and your ALK 8-12 dKH. It will grow better in lower light. The addition of calcium polygluconate (Seachem Reef Calcium) supposed to be great for increasing your coralline growth.
