Does this stuff work? Actual people who purchased these types of products and noted results comments only please :D

Thinking of buying one. The reviews go from one extreme to the other. Sometimes in house product sales guys make accounts or have family members make up accounts to write positive reviews so have decided to see if anyone has personally tried these...thanks!

Hello,

Purple tech, Purple up ... They only work if you have low calcium, and Only if your tank already has a rock with coralline on them. Coraline needs the calcium to be at 450 to 500, that's why it says on the bottle to test your calcium levels before use. Regular calcium supplement is cheaper then that, and it's the exact same stuff.

Do your water tests, and work on getting your parameters correct, and everything else will fall into place.

Totally agree Flower. The natural progression of the tank is always the best choice.
