Purple up

i'm not going to use it after reading this

 

You may have to adjust with some testing, but I'm using Kent's Liquid Calcium which seems to be working.

 

i like it... turn off main pump and let the cloudiness in your display tank to settle for 5 minutes or so. i noticed increase in purple algae within 2 weeks

 

This may be soon or normal not sure but I'm noticing some slight purple spottings so I think this stuff will do good as long as you have good lighting and the right param,I been doing micro water changes such as 26 cups every 2-3 days.

 

I never used purple up, and I've got purple, pink, red, green, and white growth all through my tank. I did, however, buy a few pounds of purple cured rock and scratched the heck out of it with a steel scrubbing brush. It took about a month to see some good growth, but it was easier and a lot cheaper to buy 50lbs base rock and seed it that way.

 

I'm another newbie who saw this and was wondering about it so I'm glad you asked the question and I saved some money! Thank you!

 

Let's be honest though. Purple up isnt bad. It is useful and does server its intended purpose. Its kinda an entry level product. Kinda like Odyssea lights.

 

I never said it wouldnt work, I just think it's a waste of money, when you are going to get the same result with time.

 

It contains iodine too and over dosing that will bring about some bad results. I used this in my tanks when I first started out and have backed off as there are other alternatives to getting the supplements into the tank that can be more easily watched. READ THE DIRECTIONS!

 

I notice when I use it my clownfish tends to act weird for a few moments then goes back to normal but I am seeing a difference since I been using it
