A question about Purigen

[Aquariusgine]

Do products containing Aloe Vera (slime) cause Purigen to lose efficacy? Will it clog the Purigen and reduce its ability to remove organics?

Im not talking about how it will turn toxic when regenerating, rather just whether it will reduce its effectiveness....

Hi there,

I plan on running through the regeneration steps for the purigen bag on the weekend, my question is, is there any downside to doing 3 bags in the same container, all at the same time?

The bleach I'll be using is White King, it's unscenteed, but not as strong as bleach...

Hi Folks,

This is my very first post on this forum, so - hello everyone!

My question is concerning the oily film that builds up on the surface of the water in my planted tank. My understanding is that this film is caused by dissolved organic compounds (DOCs). If that's the...

I know that you have to be careful when selecting water conditioners to use alongside Purigen. But what exact additives or ingredients do I need to be mindful of when selecting water additives such as water conditioners, water clarifiers, and bacteria starters?

Hi,

I regenerated the purigen in the 100ml bag according to your step by step description. This particular bag was regenerated for the first time. The media was soaked in 4% bleach solution.
After the regeneration and Prime process the beads started to leak out of the bag?
How...

Hi

I use Prime to do what changes, which I do on a regular basis. Have a 65G planted tank, Fluval LED, Insta CO2 supply and 18 fish in it, the biggest and potentially most dirty fishing being a Plec (small) and two Upside down Cats. I work away so the tank goes through 2 weeks of no water...

Aloha,

I’m going to add a new HOB filter (AquaClear 70) to my 55 gallon community tank but I’m going to replace the ceramic noodles and activated carbon it comes with with a small Purigen bag and Matrix (I will keep the sponge).

How long will it take for this filter’s...

I use a 50-micron water polishing filter pad in my aquarium filter. I worry that it is filtering out medication that I am trying to treat my sick fish with. Most people can see particles down to 40-50 microns in size. A speck of pollen might be a good example of a 50-micron particle. Kanaplex, Metroplex,...

Purigen & Amines: Is Aqua Plus which contains EDTA and PVP safe to use for regenerating Purigen®?

Purigen® is a great product and Seachem® is a responsive and reputable company; I’ve run into an issue with product instructions, but it’s not diminished them in my view.

Hello,
I think Purigen is more economical than carbon in long term, but can I replace Carbon with Purigen ?

Hi, hoping for some help and didn't see this combination of issue in your questions. I've bee using various products to lower Nitrates and just realized I think all of them also remove tannins, which I have been adding to lower the pH. Do you have any products that do that? Or recommendations?
