Purigen anyone??

Hey guys jus looking to top up a canister and was looking into the purigen.

Do many people use it? is it as good as they say? im thinking a bit of that on top of matrix.

any thoughts or experiences?

cheers,

I'm very impressed with it. I had tannin stains in one of my tanks and the purigen polished the water crystal clear. I also used it in my 200litre fish tank to give it that extra sparkle. I use it in an Eheim internal power filter I took out half the sponge and added it to the filter so I can use it in which ever tank I need . I also put it in the overhead trickle filter and it works well. Don't have a canister so can't help with that one only thing is when it turns black you need to recharge it in a bleach solution so all the good bacteria will be killed and unless you have another spare one you will have a void in the canister until the purigen is ready again.

Yeah it's definitely as good as they say, been using it for about 15yrs & always happy with the results, just can't beat it :encouragement:

Make sure u buy the purigen bags

It cannot be tipped directly into your canister

It has to be in a special bag

I use macropore which is a more local option to purigen and it works great :)
