Purple Up Coralline algae stimulator: Anyone used it?

either seachem or salifert. Get both calcium and alkalinity. They have to balance to work properly.

Will do. We have Red Sea test kits at the store, and I heard they suck.

Here ya go I order all my kits through this site. BTW I would stick with salifert

 

[ewurm]

I'll check it out, thanks!

 

[sprayin70]

anytime

Is it possible to overdose? I am using the suggested amount, but I also have aragonite, which adds calcium too.

 

[sprayin70]

Well not really it would be hard too overdose calcium. I have a buddy who runs his calcium around 580 and alk at 11.2 the corals love it. BTW the only way aroginate really adds calcium is if it dissolves.

 

[ewurm]

Yes, aragonite adds calcium if it dissolves, but I believe it will only dissolve if your calcium drops.

 

[sprayin70]

Aroganite will disolve if the ph drops around 6.6 I think. I keep my PH 6.6 in my calcium reactor it disolves the media and adds alk and calcium to the water.

 

[ewurm]

Definitely don't want ph around 6.6 lol.

 

[sprayin70]

Nope. LOL!
