So if I read you right Purigen or Carbon it does the same job?[/quote]
Yep, yep, right, right, for the most part. I've used Purigen for a while now (bout 2 yr.'s) & would say it soilidly out performs any carbon product hands dwn, (that's just me, for the record not willing to debate it, not everyone agrees). I just don't ever regard either as an accptable control for any ammonia, nitrites or nitrates levels. Just keeps me honest doing my water changes/filter maintainance etc. & not assuming anything else will substitute in the control these build ups, no slacking allowed here, LOL.
Carbon seems to remove more of my trace elems. also so that's why I settled w/ Purigen, again that's me & my set ups.
So here you are & there you go, thats my .2
Cheer mate
