Purigen... how good is it?

I've had a lot of success with Seachem products in the past and am considering trying purigen in fry grow out tanks. Whats the general consensus on this product? How long will it last and how many times can you regenerate it?

Purigen ROCKS!!!!

I bought the small bag for my tank and it was mostly exhausted in about a week. I bought the largest size and now I am going to use both. After day 2 of pulling it, my nitrate was at 15 ppm, I am going to test again to see what it is at after having it in for a day.

This product is well worth the money. It sucks crappy stuff out of your tank.

I understand that you recharge this resin in bleach. Any problems getting it clean of chlorine? This is what has me most concerned.

What was your ppm nitrate before you started using it?

Pretty high, like bright pink on the strip test. It was 15 ppm after a week with no water changes.

Do you leave a bag in your sump or use it in a cannister filter?
