Product Information

Yes, there are other alternatives, such as carbon. However, carbon is a chemical filter media and does not remove protein and other organics that a synthetic polymer filter media can. Generally, it is safe to use purigen with other aquarium products, but this is dependent on the product in question. There are various aquarium products on the market, so to determine if it is safe to combine purigen with another product, ensure you conduct adequate research on the product. For instance, purigen can remove certain medications from your aquarium water, and as a result, you should avoid using purigen alongside such medications. Caution: Some slime coat products may permanently foul Purigen and render regeneration difficult. Do not reuse if odor of chlorine is detectable. In case of doubt, soak beads in small quantity of water and test for residual chlorine with a chlorine test kit. Please take a moment and read my full guide about fish tank water pH. Can purigen affect the hardness of the water in your tank? As a result of this, the bacteria’s in your tank will not starve, and the purigen can simply help to control organic build up in your tank. 5/ How to use purigen in your tank? How many purigen should I use?

There are different types of filter media available on the market today, so you may be wondering why purigen? Well, not only does purigen have the ability to keep your tank clean, but it can also be regenerated. The benefits of using purigen Purigen is ideal in a marine aquarium where fitting a protein skimmer is not possible - Also ideal for small nano tanks For further information on activated carbon for aquarium filter, follow our guide here! Can I put too much Seachem purigen into my filter?Purigen does not directly remove ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, but instead removes organic compounds that can decompose and release them. Purigen does not remove phosphate, so your aquarium plants still have enough micronutrients when needed. Is there any alternative for purigen?

Purigen ®removes soluble and insoluble impurities from water at a rate and capacity that exceeds all other competing Edit Products by over 500%. Purigen's impact on trace elements is minimal. It significantly raises redox. It polishes water to unparalleled clarity. Purigen darkens progressively as it exhausts, and is easily renewed by treating with bleach. Purigen is designed for both marine and freshwater use. Rinse before use. However, the change is more significant only in smaller tanks. To prevent purigen from affecting the pH of your tank, you can submerge the bag in a bowl of treated water and a powerhead for 24 hours. This helps to get rid of the buffering effect and allows you to add it to your filter safely.

Purigen® is the highest capacity organic filtration resin on the market. No other Edit Products can compare to its ability to clear haziness and polish water to unparalleled clarity. Unlike other Edit Products on the market which are simple ion-exchange resins, Purigen® is specifically designed to be an organic scavenging resin. When ion-exchange resins are filled to capacity by metals and other contaminants, Purigen® has barely begun to reach its potential. Purigen® generally ignores simple elemental compounds, having an extreme affinity for nitrogenous organics. The primary source of nitrogenous compounds in an aquarium is waste. Fish, corals, even plants produce nitrogenous waste. Purigen® removes that waste faster and more completely than anything else on the market.

Driftwood contains humic substances that often leaks into your aquarium water; these substances tend to cause water discolorations. Purigen will help clear up your water and ensure it remains clear. The process of regenerating your purigen is easy, and you only require chlorine bleach. Regenerating your purigen after it has worn out will allow you to reuse it. Capacity: Purigen’s™ possesses enhanced capacity owing to its vast surface area. All other resins on the market are purely spherical extruded beads. These beads remain smooth even under a microscope. Purigen® is both spherical and macroreticular. It has microscopic pores that increase its usable surface area to many times that of a purely spherical resin.

Although this phenomena exists with any polymer type resin (not just Purigen) it is particularly acute with Purigen® because Purigen® predominantly and selectively binds and removes amines (whereas other resins indiscriminately bind amines and other chemical groups). So the point is, it happens with all resins, but it happens more with Purigen®. However it is not merely the fact that there is an amine present since Purigen® removes a whole host of organic amine based nitrogenous waste and this is no issue at all since in those cases since those materials are readily oxidized and "burned" off the Purigen®.
