    To take another perspective, I know coralline sounds awesome but honestly if your tank parameters are good you may quickly come to regret ever having sped up its growth once you have to scrape it off your glass every week. ;D

    I didn't scrape my side panels for a couple weeks while I was busy planning a new tank system and I'm paying for it now, it's so thick on one of the side panels that I can't even reliably chip it off with a scraper, I may have to get a razor blade in there and show it who's boss.

    Regarding purple up, I just think its too expensive for what you get out of it. It's basically calcium and magnesium/strontium and some other mysterious bits. You can get that stuff cheaper.

    Perhaps I should retitle this thread to B*tch fest. I respect everyone's opinion and concerns, please allow me the opportunity to disregard the postings! Thanks for your time and knowledge, now give me some karma! Ha!
