Continuum Coralline Purple CX 500mL
Coralline algae accelerator for all marine reef aquaria.
Coralline
Purple CX is specifically designed to encourage and accelerate growth
of purple and pink coralline algae without fertilizing green algae.
Because it is made from expensive marine aragonite, with added
supporting minerals, it will not pollute your system like inexpensive
aquatic muds of terrestrial origin may. It is phosphate and nitrate
free.
Use in aquarium keeping:
Coralline
Algae is not only beautiful in the marine aquarium, it takes up the
space where unwanted organisms might normally grow. Because coralline
algae is alive, it must be introduced into the aquarium by the addition
of small pieces of live rock upon which it is already growing. This
doesn't take much. You may be able to get many different types growing
on small chunks at your local aquarium store. Some coralline algae will
grow with little or no lighting, while others seem to enjoy strong reef
lighting. It is evident that lighting does play some role, so you should
experiment with it. It is important to measure phosphates and keep the
level as low as possible to encourage coralline algae growth. Continuum
also recommends that you maintain a calcium level of between 410 and 450
mg/L (ppm), an alkalinity level of 7 to 11 dKH (2.5 to 4 meq/L), and a
magnesium level of 1250 to 1350 mg/L (ppm). Note: Aquarists keeping SPS
corals should consider keeping alkalinity at 7 to no more than 9 dKH
(2.5 to 3.21 meq/L). Addition of Coralline Purple CX at night will help
balance pH and prevent night time pH decline. It will also allow time
for the water to clear from the cloudiness that is inherent in
dissolving the aragonite particles in the product.
Directions and protocol:
Coralline
Purple CX will cloud the aquarium upon addition, it is therefore
recommended that it be added a night in an area of strong flow. Shake
vigorously immediately prior to use! Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 25
US-gallons (100 L) of marine aquarium water 3 to 4 times per week.
Coralline Purple CX will raise the calcium level in your aquarium. For
best results, measure the calcium concentration and add as required to
maintain the concentration between 410 and 450 mg/L (ppm).
This
product is not suitable for use in most dosing systems because of the
need for agitation, and should be added manually. Daily addition is
preferable, though. Do not mix with any other supplements prior to
addition.
