    OK, Since I started this Iodine thread and we've had lot's of good discussion can I change and ask who is using Purple-Up and how often and size of tank.

    I don't use Purple Up and I have a ton of coralline algae. If you keep your Mg, Ca and Alk levels nice and steady, and if you do regular water changes, you shouldn't need the stuff at all. All it really contains is calcium (in the form of aragonite "dust"), iodine and magnesium. All of which are replenished when you change your water.
