this is one of those products that I like, and have no rational justification for it. I know it's basically some carbon with what looks like a DI resin of some sort mixed in, but I swear I just like the way a tank looks after having some dropped in. I have no idea how long it lasts, definitley not as long as they claim (Boyd makes rediculous claims on all their packaging) but I do like the product.

Why would you say that if you don't have to replace it as often just asking
On my Nano I just have to get a small unit. It is also a matter of space. Not much room to run a reactor in the small cabinet.
On a 180 gallon I would have to buy several bigger units. Getting GFO and Carbon in bulk and run it in a reactor is just cheaper.
But as I said I think it is a great product and works really well
Hey max, when you say it works well, for what purposes and how do you know it's effective? I'd like to find some opinions on it better than mine which are sorta empty, hah.

Hmmm ditto lol I'm just wondering if this is worth the extra $
From what I understand, Chemipure is basically a mix of Carbon and GFO. I think it's overpriced, but if you don't have bulk media at your disposal it's good to use. JMO

I love chemi pure elite, I use it in combination with Purigen and have done so for many years. If it isn't broke don't fix it but CPE is a good product.

CPE, package says rinse lightly. But I have a lot red, black run off... I know with carbon your suppose rinse unitl black run off is gone...
Should I stop rinsing? And put in my tank ... What do you guys do?

I usually just rinse it for a couple minutes and then hold the bag under running water and when the water coming out is clear I put it in the sump
I just rinse it off with a cup of RO water, and whatever is still running off gets put in the tank- I figure it same as carbon dust, it's not toxic to anything, so if it gets in the tank the worst it'll do is cloud the water for a few miunutes, and most likely the mass dispersion might actually help bind up some random particles in the water column. Armchair science I know, but seems to work pretty good.
Thinking I'll try some GFO and see if it gives me similar results as the chemi pure does (as I already run carbon)
