Many people have tried stuff like "purple up" and personally, it has done nothing for me. I tried it for almost a full year of dosing on an old tank, and had maybe a couple tiny little patches of coraline.

I also keep calcium high in that tank because it's got a bunch of clams in it.

I just love that coraline let me know if you would like to sell some rock


Ofcourse my test kit shows my Ca being extremely high 540+ which is most likely way off. I hate the fact that I spent almost 100$ on API kits to get false results.
I have a few large rocks with a nice coraline on them but they are pure white (very few purple spots on some of my other rocks) and now HA is trying to take my coraline over... this is a battle i must win.
