Description of ๐Ÿ” Seachem Purigen 19179 - Ultimate Filtration, 2.1 oz/100ml

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.

Amazing filtration for aquariums!

As a new buyer in the Pet Supplies category, I was blown away by the Seachem Purigen! It works wonders in my aquarium and has improved the water quality tremendously. As a result of my tests, I determined that it is highly effective in removing impurities and keeping the water crystal clear. The best part is that it is long-lasting and can be used multiple times. The only con I can think of is that it is slightly expensive, but it's worth every penny for a healthier and happier aquaticโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Removes impurities and discoloration from aquarium water for crystal clear water.
Cons
  • Requires frequent recharging before it wears off and loses its effectiveness.

Great reviews but does it work?

I bought two Fluval tanks with huge internal filter cartridges - plenty of room to add whatever filter material you want on top of the sponge, rings and carbon that come with the kits. After reading great reviews about Purigen I bought a pouch for one of the filters. The problem is I don't know what it really does. The water values are good and stable before, during and after using Purigen. I ended up replacing it with an ammonia absorbing bag.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Some small things

First time with Purigen and now I'm a regular customer!

I have a 29 gallon tank of plants. But not everything was as clear as we would like it to be. I love tannins, but you don't have to eat them. It was a little difficult to get a shot without glare, but you get the point. I've never had such a clear system! In a planted freshwater aquarium, Purigen will not affect the nutrients available to your plants. I don't think I can stop using it now because of the ease of use and the benefit of being so clear. Money well spent!

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Clarity
