I've read quite a bit about how great purple up is for corraline algae development. I've also read that it doesn't do anything special that my tank wont do on its own when I have all of the parameters right. Now I've never seen purple up in a LFS, only online, so my question is this. What are the ingredients in purple up that are suppposedly special? What does it have that regular supplements do not? I have never been able to read a list of ingredients on it, but if it just has the same things as the supplements I've been looking at on a shelf then is there any reason to bother with it at all? I'd really hate to waste time and money on something with a catchy name but no real benefit.

Thanks,

Ray
