Purple Up

[irondog]

When adding purple up should you shut off your protein skimmer,or leave it on

 

[bang guy]

It doesn't matter.

Matter of fact, they tell you to pour it in one of those things...

Yeap...adding it to the flow in the protein skimmer keeps it from causing precipitation.

 

[irondog]

So i should leave it on guys

I Agree, just leave it on. I just add mine in the tank and water flow takes care of the rest.

You should test for calcium before dosing, but it has never affected my reading other than the calcium but that is why I added it. So far I like it, it seems to work great

Coraline algae is starting to grow much faster since I started using it.

dont add to much. The coraline will take over everything, and become a real pain
