ya i gotta admit, i've been dosing calcium, alkalinity buffer, strontium, and all that stuff ever since i started

I've used it for quite a while and been very happy with it. It works well and is well priced. Make sure when you buy it that it hasn't solidified on the bottom.

I did read something somewhere bad things can happen when you stop using it, but never found any truth to it.

ok i bought the purple up how often should i dose it? my tank is only 5 weeks old any thoughts?

My tank is 5 monthes ole and i have been using since 1 monthe, the bottle says make sure you dont over use, i use half a capfull every 2 days on my 34 gallon. i actually just no more than 5 minute ago put some in my tank. if you are going to use this product i recommend putting into a very high flow portion of your tank. I put mine in inbetwwen my filter and powerheads so it gets dispersed appropriatly. Your rock will start turning color in under two weeks this is an incredible product for coraline algae. does not induce growth of any other algaes,

Every couple of days is fine, just make sure you monitor your calcium levels, you can even do daily doses once you get your levels stabilized. Like dosing with anything it is a balancing act.

i never bought a test kit yet is there another way that i can monitor levels?
