Caution: Not for human consumption. Do not taste, swallow or breathe. Avoid contact with skin as it may cause irritation. If in eyes, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. If ingested, drink water and call a physician immediately! Do not mix with household chemicals. Keep out of the reach of children. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds immediately before each use! Add 5-10 mL (1-2 tsp) per 55 gallons of aquarium capacity directly in an area of high water flow every day until target calcium level and alkalinity are reached. Due to its highly concentrated formula, dosing will cause cloudiness that will dissipate within one hour. It is recommended to add to your system at night, in order to counter the natural tendency for pH to decrease during this time. This also allows time for the aquarium to clear. When added at a rate of 1 mL per gallon of purified water will increase the concentration of calcium by 26 ppm.

Questions
how long does it take for the purple algae take to grow?
- Thank you for your question arturorokstarr. There are lots of factors that affect the growth of Coraline algae from calcium, magnesium, carbonates, iodide, manganese, iron levels etc, along with minor trace elements. As long as the calcium levels are between 400 and 500ppm, magnesium is between 1280 and 1500ppm and you have a dKH of 8 – 12 you can add the Kent purple tech and you should start to see growth after a few weeks and if you keep using it the growth should start to accelerate and really start going after a month or two. However if your levels go out of a reasonable balance the growth may slow down or cease altogether and even start dying off.
