Calcium carbonate + water in a bottle. These products, simply, don't work.
If you want coralline to grow, you need decent light, calcium, alk, and, eventually, magnesium. Here's Randy's excellent guide to making your own 2-part solution (you can get what you need from Bulk Reef Supply, BTW). Kalk is also a great way to maintain calcium and alk for many tanks.

Total Junk. I figured it was junk going in but thought for $12 it's worth a shot. It did absolutely nothing except cloud the water and throw my balance out of whack. I highly recommend staying away. If you're like me and will have to tempt fate anyway be sure to test every day.

No good, if you can seed it from another coraline soaked rock that would work much better than purple up.
I got that stuff growing everywhere, I can't even get it to stop.
It grows much better with Actinics as it doesn't have to compete against other strains of algae when white light is exposed.
My T5 tank is completely purple... I recently had to reseed new liverock there was no traces of coraline on them. Now it's infested.
