Review on πŸ”¬ Boyd Enterprises ABE16744 Chemipure Grande Filter Media: Enhance Tank Water Quality with 40-Ounce Powerhouse by Danielle Padilla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It burns faster than Purigen and cannot be renewed BUT it purifies the water better

Throw this in my FX6 and my water seems to go down the tank it gets so clear. I have been using Purigen for many years and recently switched to Chemi Pure. At the moment I'm in the fourth block. It burns faster than Purigen and cannot be refreshed BUT it purifies the water better. I know the packaging says it removes CO2 from the water and many planted aquarists have been interested in using it. I have a heavily stocked tank and have had no trouble holding EXCEPT some amounts of supplements. My iron runs out pretty quickly now. I resorted to a few pills on my liquid iron to compensate. Otherwise I had no problems and didn't have to buy a CO2 bubbler, as I initially thought. Although I wish it lasted longer, the benefits I get from the aquarium are worth it. I've spent a lot of money on filters, fish, plants, lights, aquascaping, etc., but with this "cheap" device I can see my hard-earned money much more clearly. My fish look healthier and the colors are much better. I switched to this one and will NOT be going back.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
