Continuum Coralline Purple CX is a coralline algae accelerator for marine reef aquariums. It is designed to encourage and speed up the growth of purple and pink coralline algae without fertilizing green algae.
It is made from marine aragonite with added supporting minerals, so it does not pollute a system the way inexpensive aquatic muds of terrestrial origin may. It is phosphate and nitrate free. It will raise the calcium level in the aquarium and will cloud the water when added.
Coralline algae is alive and must be introduced on small pieces of live rock that already have it growing. Add Coralline Purple CX at night in an area of strong flow, which helps balance pH, prevents a nighttime pH decline and gives the water time to clear. Shake vigorously just before use. It is not suitable for most dosing systems because it needs agitation, so add it manually.
