Wondering if anyone has tried using purigen in a media reactor on a freshwater tank? Not sure how effective it would be but I'm curious...

I know Purigen floats... this would be a deal breaker, right? All of the reactors I have seen, the input is from the bottom with the water going up through sinking media. Also, its extremely fine, almost like dust. Even if you had a top down unit for use with floating media, this stuff being super tiny would leave the reactor.

Or do the reactors have a filter screen? If so, it would have to 100 micron..
