## Overview

Carib Sea Purple Up Algae Accelerator is a patented, liquid reef supplement designed to rapidly enhance pink and purple coralline algae growth by delivering ionic calcium and trace minerals directly to live rock surfaces. It replenishes essential iodine without promoting nuisance algae, ensuring a vibrant, healthy reef environment.

## Description

PurpleUp - uses a unique dual method approach to coralline algae acceleration. This approach is so unique that PurpleUp has been awarded a US patent (US patent No. 7,565,883). It contains ionic calcium; which immediately raises dissolved calcium levels in your aquarium water. At the same time Super Sea Calcium (a 10 micron aragonite powder derived from natural seawater) targets the live rock surface. This dissolves in situ; delivering calcium, strontium, magnesium, and carbonate right where it's needed. PurpleUp also replenishes iodine; an essential element for coralline algae tissues that quickly becomes depleted in closed systems. PurpleUp is not a fertilizer, it does not promote the growth of nuisance algae.

## Features

- Accelerates desirable pink and purple coralline algae growth
- Won't encourage growth of nuisance algae
- Raises calcium, iodine and other trace elements essential in reef aquariums

A: Just checked the bottle and I didn't see any.

**Q: does this work if i dont have any corraline algae yet?**
A: I did not have any obvious coraline algae and used it once. I had a huge mess as the green algae bloomed everywhere. I changed the water and cleaned the filter adjusted the lighting timing and the next morning the algae bloomed in an overabundance. It took 3 water changes and 4 filter cleanings to get it under control. I threw it away but your experience may be different.

**Q: Will this harm invertebrates?**
A: Nope, not at all. Just check your levels (you should do this anyway). Been using this stuff for years! Good for any hard corals and coco worms too. Makes everything nice n pink n purpley!
