    I got purple up as a freebie from CaribSea folowing a minor question/concern I raised with another one of their products (mentioned as a positive testiment to their good customer service). However, I have not seen any results from the product. I have low calcium, however, and that probably takes more of the blame than the quality of the product... your mileage may vary. Certainly not needed.

    It's doesn't seem to be doing anything for me. It may be a good product , but my coralline hasn't really starting growing as far as I can tell. Maybe if my tank was more mature. I know it's slow getting that stuff started.

    Aragamight didn't sell well. Aragamilk didn't sell well. Put them both in a purple bottle and call it Purple Up and it flies off the shelves.

    Marketing Genius.

    It's still worthless though.

    calc and mag are the most important things, get a calc reactor (best supplement in the world).

    They are pretty much worthless. Keep your ALK, CA, and Mag in check will work much better
