Worked really great but does take some patience
Worked great, i saw results by the 2 month mark. It started with little spots all over. My tank is well established and rock stable but only now was i finally able to get coralline growth. The colors are very vibrant also, not muted like tanks ive had in the past. I am super happy with these results.

Zero growth.
I put this in long enough ago that I should be seeing some results by now, but no growth at all. I have searched the tank high and low for even a speck but zero. My water is fine, fish inverts macros and corals all fine and healthy. Maybe I got a bad bottle?

Used (red) before with success but not purple
Dumped the whole bottle in a 29 gallon tank, no red or purple algae yet after 6+ months. I gave it a three star because I think I saw 1 purple circle between the glass and the white sand maybe 3 months after I added solution but it went away. I have elevated Nitrate levels but still no algae but bubble algae and I have 1 turbo snail. Maybe he is eating the spores before they develop.

Less than a week, already working
I was skeptical, and I know the bottle says it could take weeks to start seeing coraline spots. But it's been less than a week and I'm already seeing it spotting all over my glass and back wall. Highly impressed with this product. I started this tank 3 months ago with pure dry rock. This is my new go to method to prevent unwanted hitchikers and pests. Fantastic product.

I would purchase again
It took a couple months but the algae is growing everywhere now. I don't use a skimmer or UV so this probably helped it establish.

Not worth the money
Didn’t work, and I believe it dead on arrival. The bottle Smelled horrible, and I did not see much difference in coralline, besides very little bits of green coralline growing
