🐠 Seachem Purigen 250ml: Superior Water Purifier for Aquariums Review

If you want to make the water crystal clear and free from various impurities, then this is what you need. It achieves amazing things when it comes to water quality - empirically, as test results have shown. The downside is that it is "consumable" - after a while it "runs out" and can't purify the water any further. The good news is that it can be "refreshed". Treat it with bleach. And of course you can also just buy a new batch. In any case, I won't open an aquarium again without a few big bags

Seachem Purigen is an essential filter material for planted aquariums, particularly those using Revinenia substrate or other elements in the aquarium that leach tannins and/or humic acid. This stuff works. 35 gallon aquarium planted with Revineia. Purigen helps remove humic acid that leaches the soil without absorbing the nutrients your plants need. This is essential for planted aquariums to keep the water clean, remove nitrates and keep the aquarium water healthy. Use the tank as it will…

Tried the small bag first although it was great, bought this large bottle and bags, used 6 weeks. Each time I cleaned/charged the beads they always stayed clean and turned white again. I would take the extra step of soaking in 100% tap water for 24 hours after rinsing and even rinsing before putting it back in the filter after that extra soaking step. I wash every week. Last time (week 7) I got up the next morning after my shift to find my beautiful butterfly and red goldfish dead. I was…

I can't say enough good things about Purigen. I have a 16 gallon bioborb with 3 fish and 4 snails and even with weekly water changes it stayed cloudy except for about 1-2 days after a 30% water change. Based on other good reviews I bought Seachem Prime and Purigen and couldn't be happier. Prime was recommended as my understanding is that other dechlorinators may react poorly to Purigen (no personal experience - only read this in a few places and didn't want to risk harming the critters). I did…

This is pure magic. I'm pretty sure they bottle it with unicorns or something, it's so amazing. It sucks up organic waste like no other and cleans your (*um* oversaturated) aquarium of ammonia and nitrite! I have a heavily stocked aquarium, so nitrate is not a problem. The loading process is simple and works. I'm probably overpriced as I rarely wait for the beads to "black" to recharge and I've been using the same ones for a few months. The only downside is the media size. The grains are VERY…

I have a Seachem Tidal 110 HOB filter with a modified filter basket, 3 levels of foam, Purigen and Bio Matrix (in that order from bottom to top). This is an amazing combo for keeping my heavily populated 60 gallon aquarium clean and tidy. I have over 40 different fish and 8 fiddler crabs so I need a good filtration system to keep it clean and tidy. I originally bought a 100ml Purigen pack but on the 5th reload the pack was compromised. I've decided to go with bulk materials and use media packs…
