    My question for you is did you let your tank sit and see if the coraline algae grew at all? In other words… it is growing NOW, but how do you know it is a direct result of purple up? I have noticed no difference in my three tanks that I have had with or without the product.

    and man, do something with that rock work….looks like you dumped a bucket of rocks and let it lay where it fell

    how long has the coral been closed up for. i had a toad stool coral (lost to long island heat wave summer 08) he would take a day for one shedding and then a week or two for another. also, they need allot of water movement. have it aimed directly at it so it gets the blast. good luck and nice tank

    I cant use that stuff because it makes my calcium levels go up too high

    also you must have at least some coraline algea to start with, or it wont grow and all you will get is nusiance algea.

    nice. just got some purple up on the weekend to help my coralline growth. how often do you dose?

    Also, to the d00d underneath me, water changes arnt going to guarantee coralline algae growth, although i have found running a plenum system seems to make coralline grow quicker then just a deep sand bed. Oh and ‘iodines and other chemicals’ .. iodine, especially, is a requirement in any reef tank, as are most of the others that come in purple up. People OD with PU because they are impatient.

    Or you could just continue to do regular water changes, which does the same thing, and doesn’t overdose your aquarium w/ iodines and other chemicals in purple up
