Title Purple Up

Abstract


What They say:

Purple-Up�
Purple-Up� is a new coralline algae growth accelerator. This product is not a fertilizer, but encourages the growth of desirable pink and purple coralline algaes without promoting nuisance algae growth. How does it work? Well, Purple-Up� uses a unique dual method approach to coralline algae acceleration. It contains ionic calcium which immediately raises dissolved calcium levels in your aquarium water. At the same time Super Sea Calcium� (a 10 micron aragonite powder derived from pristine tropical oceans) targets the live rock surface. Super Sea Calcium� dissolves in situ; delivering calcium, strontium, magnesium, and carbonate right where it's needed. Purple-Up� also replenishes iodine; an essential element for coralline algae tissues that becomes quickly depleted in closed systems. Purple-Up� is an excellent addition to any aquarium with stoney corals too! One bottle of Purple-Up� replaces the typical multi product recipe for successful coralline algae growth favored by advanced aquarists.

What Ralph Says:
This is a product that has had great response from store owners and hobbyists. I just wish they made gallon sizes for stores and larger systems. This product is not only cost effective, it works. It is easy to use and there does not appear to be any side effects or adverse swings in water parameters like some calcium or coral accelerators cause. I would recommend this to anyone who needs great looking live rocks and corals.

Purple-Up� gets 4 stars out of five. It is better than any similar product on the market but gallon sizes would be nice. In addition no calcium supplement or calcium reactor is required and is easy enough to use to be a home run. If results are all my review is based on, go ahead give it a 5. "Make your rock and reef happy."
