Hardly original topic (emphasis) and in fact to beat a dead horse with a howitzer on this topic here are a few of the longer threads/most replies, (and I didn't even get past page 2 on most searches). ….not all links tested
Who uses Carbon AND Chemipure Blue in their tanks?
Purigen versus...
I have never used purigen, because I'm afraid the regeneration process might easily go wrong.
Do you need to be super careful with the residual chlorine from the bleach?
Or you're always gonna be fine as long as you add the correct amount of dechlorinator and then rinse?
Are there any "horror...
Hi guys, I've been doing some research on products I might get for my tank, and came across 3 relatively similar products all made by Seachem, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what each of them do specifically, or how they work together.
The main issues with my tank that I'm looking to solve...
My aquarium nitrates increase despite everything I am doing. I have a 20 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump filled with biomedia, 5 gallon bucket filled with pumice with water going through at 50 Gph, 200ml purigen, carbon, 15 oz. Cobalt total nitrate, fluidized sand bed filter v2 bio600f...
Hi all,
I bought a 250ml bottle of Purigen. It's sort of orange and damp and clumpy. Is this normal for Purigen? I feel like when I bought the last bottle it was more white and more-or-less dry.
Thanks!
As Randy points out, carbon removes more organics when combined Ozone.
Conversely, I've read at least a couple of times that Purigen "stays white" much longer when combined with ozone. This suggests Purigen does not remove as many organics as it would without ozone. An example here...
I'm gonna use it in my 5 gal sump that is connected to my 8 gal DT. I'm planning to buy Matrix and one Purigen or SeaGel, or should I use both of them together?
Hello All,
I have newly established RSM E 170 that is just over a month old. I know this subject has been beat to death but I am very frustrated with the explosion of GHA in my tank. Currently my Phospates are at .08ppm and Nitrates are at 0. These levels have remained constant for a week...
As many times I got valuable information from this forum, I want to share my new experiences to pursuit the most crystal and clear water I can.
I have three tanks:
- one AIO hospital tank running for 4 months. It has 20 gal, Tunze DOC 9001 skimmer, one box of Marine Pure biomedia balls. No sump...
To combat a surge of nitrates I have recently been dosing NOPOX.
So far I have been seeing results, but also remembered I currently and running purigen in a reactor.
Will these 2 compounds clash at all? I am seeing results, but I would like to min/max this process and not strip any chemistry...
