Does anyone use the Caribsea products Aragamilk, aragamight, or purple up? They seem to be great products. I currently dose with Bionic and kalk, but am considering trying these.
Any thoughts?

I gave up on those Kalk. things, and use PurpleUp. Seems way easier, and similar cost. I feel it is a super product. JD

thnx jimbo, do you feel that it has enough punch to replace the kalk? is it a calcium product to be used in the place of other calcium products or to supplement them?

Purple up raises cal as it claims. It also raises Iodide. I dosed the recomended amount for 2 weeks and my Iodide went to .5 way above that of NSW .06.

You should try this question on the chemistry forum.... Might get more details...

If you're a believer in the "don't add anything you don't test for" axiom, then stick with the bioinc and the kalk.

If you subscribe to the "add it because the mfgr says it's good, and they somehow know exactly what my tank needs" theory, then switch to purple-up.

I feel it has enough punch. I checked a few weeks ago, and the CA was on the high side. Around 400 I think. It is so good, I picked up 6 16oz.s, just in case they run out. I just did a check, and it was at 420.. JD
