Description of ๐ŸŸ Seachem Purigen 1L Organic Filtration Resin for Fresh and Saltwater Aquariums (167)

FILTRATION: Purigen ranges in color from almost white (cream) to light yellow. 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. 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 Seachemโ€™s Purigen is exhausted, it can be regenerated with a solution of bleach and water. The bleach will literally โ€œburn offโ€ 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. Age range description: All Stages.

The most profitable option!

I use Purigen in all my aquariums. When buying ready-made packages, this can be expensive, but makes them significantly cheaper. Just make sure to buy the best mesh bags.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Very expensive

Works well, how often change

Works well. But how often change. Revitalizes the breeding ground in reef aquariums. It is recommended to wash and soak in chlorine, rinse and soak in Prime. Then rinse. Is anyone safe to reuse their Purigen in reef aquariums?

Pros
  • Test year
Cons
  • Later I will add

Creates bright algae

Water is clear, but damn it! Algae grow on glass like weeds. If you don't mind algae, use it. We're going to try the "charcoal" in our canister filter and see what happens, and that's the purigen we're going to use in our pond. To feed my snails

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Useless features

A must for all aquariums!

Great product! It completely reduces the levels of ammonia and nitrates! What I like most is the changing color of the indicator, which tells you when it needs to be cleaned and charged. And charging is very easy, it only takes about 48 hours total process time.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Some problems

Seems to be working fine.

I have been struggling with a constant NO3 problem in my reef tank and turbidity in my discus tank. I put about 200ml of this stuff in the reactor where it spins slowly and both problems go away. The discus tank matrix turned very brown within a week so I replaced it and recharged what was there. So far, so good.

Pros
  • Best Niche
Cons
  • Protection

Works perfectly! Crystal clear water!

Makes water crystal clear! I'll admit I added this at the same time I replaced some of the sponges with biomedium and it seemed cloudy for 5 or 6 days, but I think that was because I was using the natural cycle of the system bothered me, because after this first week the water is PERFECTLY clear. I will be incorporating this into my tank routine from now on.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

SUPERIOR Water Clarity

It's a Miracle. I will never use carbon again. EXCELLENT water clarity. I've also noticed some odd debris or what others call "white worm-like things" in the water, but this is the clearest water I've ever seen. I can't say enough good things about it. Try it, you will like it. I put it in 1 of 4 bowls in my Fluval 406l in my 90 gallon tank and it quickly cleared all my water. Make sure you don't use conventional water conditioners. Use Seachem Prime. The product "Stress-Coat" immediatelyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Superb Design
Cons
  • Some Cons
