purple coralline turning white

[reeferbarra20]

Does anyone know what i can add to make my coralline algae stay purple? I know its a lack of calcium in the water, so should i just do water changes more often? Any response would be helpful. Thanks , reeferbarra

I have had great results with Coral Vital.

Beware of the similar names and imitations.

I suggest 10 doses to start rather than 30 per the bottle.

Now I notice a difference after just one additional dose. I would follow up with once every 1 to 4 weeks. I stop adding it because my tank is all purple.

I need to start dosing calcium to my tank as well. but i was wondering if i can just add it to my freshwater topoff buckets before i pour them in?? (sorry dont mean to steal the thread)

thx -Rob
