Product Review: SeaChem Purigen

For all of you out there that like to overfeed (ewurm raises hand), this product is for you. This product removes all sorts of bad crap, including ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and other impurities, with supposedly little effect on trace elements. About $13 gets you a pouch that treats 100 gal. You just drop it in your filter. The really great thing is that it is rechargeable. It changes color when it has reached capacity, and then you go through a 1/2 day process of soaking in various things to recharge.

I am trying it on one of my tanks, I will update this thread with results.

Now I can safely feed 47 times a day!

Good to see that some people are already using it. I am starting with it in my oscar/bass tank. We'll see if it gets the nitrates lower.

I am using this on all tanks now with filters large enough to fit the packet in, it's a great product. It makes your water very clear and reduces nitrates.

UPDATE: This is a great product. Pretty easy to recharge, and it does remove nitrates, and other unwantables.

You want me to take a pic of a filter pack? I will scan it after the Vikes game.
