I'll have to look into Purple up then, it seems quite potent.

Default potent!

-potent is right, it's 1 capful for 50 gallons so when i put a capful for my
33-gallon as u can imagine it made a difference! honestly doesn't cloud up ur
water like others, @ least not for 2 long. -andexpect 2 get some white film on
all sides of ur tank from the calcium. it's actually made specifically for coralline algae growth.
