I asked this question because I had mixed responses from people around my area. Some people had corraline go crazy after adding this stuff and others had little to no effect. I guess it is like everything else in this hobby!

I think that it may only enhance the things that are lacking, like Ca and iodine. If your levels are where they should be there should not be a need to use it.

i have now had my tank set up for two years and added purple up from about 9 months in. Every night faithfully for a solid year and i bought snails covered in corline algae (2 dozen turbos) and yet not one spot of coraline algae anywhere in my complete system right down to my sump or powerheads!!!! Total junk
