Just researched it a little, but it looks like nothing more than a calcium suppliment and some some fine grain sand, maybe with a splash of iodide. Honestly, keeping your water up to snuff with calcium and alk levels will encourage the growth of coraline.

The trace elements that are mentioned in the product sheet are present in the salt mix and replenished to proper levels with water changes. Looks like a gimmick product, miracle fixes in a bottle are generally either trouble waiting to happen or just a waste of your hard earned $$$.

if you keep your parameters in check and keep a healthy tank the coraline will show up on its own. Just have to be patient. I agree with the above its a waste of your money. good luck
