Re: purple up
It might not ever work. A lot of people think its a gimick product that doesnt do much for you.

Re: purple up
well i hope thats not the case, i guess i will have to keep my eye on my tank and see if i can see an amount of coraline growth on the rocks, and then once i see that i will stop using it and see if the growth continues or not. i will do an experiment on it

Re: purple up
You can get the same results by testing and dosing calcium IE kalk or calcium reactor. Ive read some things that say purple up has a bunch of phosphates that cause algae. Also I think Fatman has found research that purple up is just dissolved argonite sand. I would do either kalk or two part IMO

Re: purple up
well im half way through the bottle so ill just let it run out and then just be patient and let it grow in its own time, i mean the tank isnt going anywhere anytime soon, but i still have to add more rock anyways, so i guess ill just add some that is covered in coraline and then let that full the coraline growth
