CaribSea Purple Up 8oz

Product details

CaribSea Purple Up 8oz (08530) is a coralline algae growth supplement designed for reef aquariums. In practice, it’s used as an aquarium additive to support the development of coralline algae by boosting key elements associated with coralline tissue formation and calcification. It uses a two-part approach—raising dissolved calcium and also providing calcium/related minerals at the live rock surface—while replenishing iodine that can become depleted in closed systems. This can help maintain active coralline growth without positioning itself as a general “fertilizer.”

Features:

• Non-nutritive formulation with no added sugars and no EDTA’s
• Uses a dual method approach: immediate ionic calcium addition plus surface targeting with Super Sea Calcium™ aragonite powder
• Super Sea Calcium™ is described as a 10 micron aragonite powder derived from natural seawater
• Helps replenish iodine, an essential element for coralline algae tissues in closed aquariums
• Not described as a fertilizer and not intended to promote nuisance algae growth
• Has been awarded a US patent (US patent No. 7,565,883) for its described approach
