I started adding about half the recomanded dose of Purple Up to my tank once a week and i have been getting pretty good growth from it.

i do a half dose twice a week . i also drop my calcium dosage. its hard to say how much aas that would depend on your tank size and what your using. just be aware that purple up does have calcium in it.
