Our Purple Helix blend algae strains are highly epiphytic stains that will help to outcompete other nuisance algae and diatoms. Effective in improving water quality by controlling ammonia and nitrite levels. Use when setting up a new aquarium, when adding new rock or substrate to your tank, and to boost the color and diversity of existing live rock in an already established aquarium.

Bio-Spira contains only the bacteria. Both will help cycle a tank but only this product will add coralline in addition to the bacteria needed. Thank you for your question we hope this helps. **Q: Will this replace the need to buy a "seed" rock when starting a dry rock tank cycle?** A: Yes, this does take the place of a seed rock. This method is slightly faster and requires less effort on uour part. It would be the equivalent of getting 6 seed rocks and then scraping the algae off in order to release the spores from those rocks into the water column in order to settle on your dry rock. Both methods will work though. Thamk ypu for your question. **Q: Can I put this I set up my tank 2 months ago?** A: Yes, it works especially great for tanks that have already cycled like yours. **Q: Do you add the whole bottle at once?** A: Yes, add the entire bottle upon receiving it. Each bottle treats up to 50 Gallons. If your tank is larger, then it is suggested to use multiple bottles to ensure the concentration of spores is adequate. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/53674376-coralline-algae-in-a-bottle-nitrifying-bacteria-for-saltwater-aquariums](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/53674376-coralline-algae-in-a-bottle-nitrifying-bacteria-for-saltwater-aquariums) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
