Purigen... how good is it?

[Potts050]

how many times can it be reused?
Does using Aquapure mess it up?

It is located in my Penguin 350. Now I only use Prime in my tanks as a dechlorinator and in step 2 to regenerate it. I have no idea how many times it can be regenerated, a lot I am guessing, my nitrate is 0 now if you haven't read my thread bragging about 0 Nitrates, Ammonia, and Nitrites!

Is this stuff reasonably priced?

Yea, you will be go to go for a large tank for 15 bucks

I got 1 liter of purigen, enough for 1000 gallons according to the label, for $25.99.

 

[RadleyMiller]

Good deal

Purigen removes all the nitrogenous waste so that it may have a serious impact on your beneficial bacteria population.
Anyone tried using it to recycle water that is high in nitrates offline?

I've never had the tank go through a mini cycle with Purigen. When I removed all of my carbon, that set my tank through a mini cycle

You should be using enough biomedia to make removing carbon irrelevant. I don't even use carbon in my biggest tank, only biomedia and purigen.
