Adding 10ml kalkwasser in evening?

What do you think?
Will these ingredients clash?
Or is this alright.
I am getting the coraline growing

You will probably get the coralline growth without the PurpUp. All that does is raise your dissolved calcium levels, of which if your dosing, then its raising your cal number.
You just need to keep your alk at 8-12dKH, your calcium at 380-460, and your mag at 1250-1350, the coralline will come. If its slow at first, scrape it off the rocks, let it get about the tank, then you'll be pulling your hair out trying to scrape it all off. :tongue:

Ok thanks. I've beendosing this purple up for 5 days and so far I just see a little red bits here and there. Something tells me the kalk is better.

I tried Purple Up, but my coraline growth really didn't take off until I started using Kalk. 6 months in and it's all over my rocks and overflow...Only a few specs have show up on the glass thus far.

Save yourself a lot of trouble and stop using Purple Up.

Purple Up is overpriced crap. The main ingredient is "Super Sea Calcium", what exactly is that? BS is what it is.

Spend your money on a decent test kit and keep your Ca, Mg, and Alk stable, and Phosphate and Nitrate low.

Ok got it!
****...
Now if someone could just put coraline algae SPORES on a bottle yhat would.. Ahh, thanks folls

I agree

Well I purchased a Salifert test kit and discovered my magnesium level was 1080. So added the dose of mag and purpleup together. Im going to measure once a day mag calcium and dkh for the next seven days and dose accordingly. I thank you all for your advice,
