If you want coraline algae next time I scrape my glass I'll gladly send you some.

well, the first thing you need to do is some testing to determine where your levels are. You will quickly learn that you never want to add something if you don't know where the current level is. Most things interact with each other in some way and if you add one, another might drop or rise as well.
Once you have done your testing, let us know on here where the levels are and we'll give you some advice. Often people use Purple Up in order to increase their coraline algae growth. Just don't add it without knowing where you currently are.

BlueAbyssAnyhow, it sounds like you need to do some reading on the relationship between Calcium, alkalinity, and Magnesium... http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-06/rhf/index.php This should get you started. Next will be test kits... as a few people have already stated, dosing without testing is dangerous... you don't want to lose a tank of expensive fishes or corals to an overdose.

Lots of good advise.
Im my experience coraline will grow eventually just be patient.
