B-ionic is the ticket if you have a large tank it can be expensive
I use B ionic along with a ca reactor

purple up is only one part of the equation all it really does is add alkalinity to the water
but ion order for it to be stable you need the proper levels of magnesium and calcium
NO purple up is an alkalinity builder,
with that said keep your parameters stable,
alk 8-10 DKH
calcium 450-500 PPM
mag 1350-1400PPM
PH 8.0 - 8.3
proper lighting and your purple Coraline algae will grow
either dose 2 part or run a calcium reactor and top off with Kalkwasser water
there are no...
you can put a kalk reactor in between your top off and your sump
when the sump demands water(float switch) water from your reserve will push water from kalk reactor to your sump.
the kalk reactor is connected to a timer which stirs the kalk a few times a day
