Description of 🐠 Seachem Purigen Organic Filtration Resin 100ml (6 Pack) - Top Pet-Preferred Aquarium Fish Tank Filter Media for Both Freshwater & Saltwater, Plus Bonus Water Test Strips Included

FILTRATION: Seachem Purigen is not a mixture of ion exchangers or adsorbents, but a unique macro-porous synthetic polymer that removes soluble and insoluble impurities from water at an excelled rate and capacity. SELECTIVITY: Seachem Purigen is an organic filtration resin that works hard to remove nitrogenous compounds and waste produced by fish, corals, and even plants, making your water crystal clear. CAPACITY: Being both spherical and macroreticular, Seachem Purigen has microscopic pores that increase its usable surface area to many times that of a purely spherical resin. REGENERATION: Once Seachem’s Purigen is exhausted, it can be regenerated with a solution of bleach and water. The bleach and water solution will literally “burn off” the organics that have been removed from the tank. SAFETY: Some slime coat products may permanently foul Purigen and render regeneration difficult. Do not reuse if odor of bleach/chlorine is detectable. In case of doubt, soak beads in small quantity of water and test for residual chlorine with a chlorine test kit.

SeaChem doesn't lie

My salt water is so clear my tanks look empty. It couldn't work without him. I finally threw away the ones I've tried in the past.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Empty

Different with aquarium pumps and filters

These bags are nothing like the purigen ones I've used for years. Balls keep leaking. Here is a photo of this bag compared to the old bag. Oddly enough, these bags are much longer, but not as full.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Okay for the most part, but...

NOT the same product!

NOT the product I have previously purchased! Very disappointed! Buyer Warning. The resins appear finer, almost powdery and come out completely during the pre-rinse. I should have taken the lead by warning previous video reviewers. Got the same crap. I'm afraid to put them in my canister filters. I have purchased and used Seachem Purigen in the past and it is a fantastic product but it is not the same.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Insecure

Purigen works best in filter accessories

I'm still hesitant to load this stuff up and I already over filter my tank but still top it up every few months. I haven't done a reload, still afraid of losing my livestock and crops (so much time and money for it!) if for some reason it fails as others have said. I plan on experimenting with loose granules that you can make your own bag out of, but that's for the next chapter haha. I recommend this as it was advertised and arrived quickly.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Has flaws

Good price best in filter accessories

Update: The ones I bought from Seachem were in slightly different packaging but same bag and edition. Seachem must have switched to a cheaper bag. As another review states the bags are not the same as previous ones I have purchased. The bag has a different shape and the beads will leak out. Either Seachem has changed manufacturers or it is a fake. I've also heard that it can break into smaller pieces if it dries out. It is therefore quite possible that these are old stocks. I've just ordered…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
