Hi Miki hear, what do you guy think off purple up well the ones who used it or herd from others. Do you like the product/dislike do you think its efficient/not efficient. I would relay like your opinion because I have heard 2 exact opposite stories.
1-It is the best calcium supplement
2-It sucks

I have a bottle in my fish drawer but I am hesitant of using it.
Thanks agine.

Hey Mik, I use Aragomilk to add Calcium to my tank. That said, I'm a newbie at tank chemistry and have never bothered with it.

I think that Purple Up is not necessary because I had awesome coraline growth even though my tank blows chunks.

Not necessarily.

Don't immerse yourself with all the chemicals and supplements until you have a foundation of what they do and why you need them. If you're seeing some coraline on your live rock, give it more time and it'll spread to the glass as well.

I've used purple up in the past but didn't find it gave me any more coraline growth than with any other supliment. Give it a try if you already have it, it's not going to hurt anything.

Try searching Reefcentral and you'll get a bunch of reviews back about it. I've never tried it because of all the after effects I've been hearing about. It kind of scares me to be honest.
