hi there, firstly in order for the coralline crustose algae you want to flourish, you need to have it present in the tank, the other replies you have been given are good, you need to keep green algae at bay inorder for the purple algae to take hold so cleanup crews are a must. Purple up i use and its doin well and my tank is brand new only a couple of weeks. stick to your parameters that you need. hope that helps or tells you something new

get better lights you only have 3.1 watts per gallon in your tank and by the looks of it, it is a tall so the light is having trouble getting to the bottom. but thats only one opinion

Yeah, Purple-Up works well or any calcium based additive.
