Product Description

Product Description
Purple-Up is a new pink and purple coralline algae accelerator. Since Purple-Up is not a fertilizer, it does not promote the growth of nuisance algae. How does it work? Purple-Up uses a unique dual method approach to coralline algae acceleration. It contains ionic calcium which immediately raises dissolved calcium levels in your aquarium water. At the same time Super Sea Calcium (a 10 micron aragonite powder derived from natural seawater) targets the live rock surface. Super Sea Calcium dissolves in situ; delivering calcium, strontium, magnesium, and carbonate right where it?s needed. Purple-Up also replenishes iodine; an essential element for coralline algae tissues that quickly becomes depleted in closed systems. Purple-Up is an excellent addition to any aquarium with stony corals too! One bottle of Purple-Up replaces the typical multi product recipe for successful coralline algae growth favored by advanced aquarists.

2.0 out of 5 stars I think it works, February 11, 2007

By	D. Johnson (TN. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a reef tank, but i'm just not sure if this product works. It does increase the calcium levels in the tank simply because it is a solution of pulverized argonite or other calcium compound. I had great success with a part a&b solution. My father uses it and likes it but it does leave the argonite residue on everything, and it has harden in the sump so when it is disturbed, white flakes shoot out the return.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff for small tanks., March 30, 2009

By	Brian R. Read "Dad" (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Purple-Up is good if you have a mid to small size tank. We have a 90 gallon and it takes 2 cap fulls, so I am setting up a Kasserwasser drip bottle. I liked the way Purple-Up rapidly gave me purple algae on the snails and then the rocks. But to add calcium to a large tank like mine I need to buy it in gallon jugs ($80-$100) which would last 6 months.
