Betsey Moore works for Carib-Sea. The article that you posted that I deleted was written by Sally Jo Headlee of GARF touting their GARF "grunge" and included links to their commercial website.

But ya i do find that kinda ironic, and i have lost a lil faith in the secret sauce, but it has raised my Calcium to where it should be...And i will use it (when needed) untill the bottle is empty and after that i will consider a different product.
The primary ingredient in PurpleUp is aragonite sand. They say in their ad copy that it also includes ionic calcium. If so, it's certainly not a good way to dose ionic calcium compared to other products. The raison d'etre for PurpleUp is that Carib-Sea has A LOT of aragonite sand and a lot of aragonite sand silt. Why not bottle it and sell it for twenty bucks a bottle?

Is Aragonite sand and silt bad for your tank ?

Aragonite sand is very good for your tank but most people put it in the tank first before even adding the water or live rock. They call that the "sand bed."
