Re: Purigen question
I love Purigen, GREAT PRODUCT. It will make your water crystal clear. Bag it, use the Seachem bag, it is expensive and worth every dime, and just put it in the same location you put carbon or Chemi-pure. If you have a species like Discus that need organic elements in the water, you can’t use it because it will remove them entirely and rapidly. The stuff recharges easily with bleach and can be recharged over and over.
On a side note: I did a lot of work for Dr. Morin at the Seachem factory in Madison, Georgia a few years ago. The man is a brilliant chemist with his doctorate from Emory University. His people are top notch and the factory is simply impressive. When they make the feeding supplements the whole place smells like fresh garlic! They take care of their employees with a small gym and very nice kitchen and break facilities. Every employee has an aquarium of one kind or another. Dr. Morin has two I would guess over 300 gallons in his office and as you go down the hall the smaller the office the smaller the aquarium. Even the employees in the cubicals have 20 to 55 gallon tanks. They have every kind of system you can imagine from terrariums to marine, discus, cyclids, you name it. They are a very scientific outfit and quiet classy all the way around. They have two large laboratories, one for research and one for testing of product and quality control. All that said, I use other products, even like some better than theirs, but Purigen is beyond compare, nothing I have seen or tried is even close for most setups and even if all things were equal, U prefer to buy their products.
