That Purple Stuff!

Post by drj1259 »

So i was talking to one of my friends that has a couple reef tanks and he was telling me about the product Purple up. Now he works at the lfs but i trust him and he swears by it but only when you start with base rock and a little live rock. Has anybody used this and did it work or is it just another product that doesnt do what it says it does?..............funny I trust your guys advice over one of my friends but you guys havent led me wrong yet :D

Just maintain good water quality & dose your Ca, alk, Mg, accordingly in response to your testing.

im using it right now because I have absolutely no calcium to speak of in my aquarium water, and I'd really like to get some coraline to grow.
