I love Purigen! It is awesome, I have a big bag and a small bag in my 75. This way I always have it in the tank so that water parameters don't change when I have to recharge or forget about recharging it, or leave it in the bleach solution for several days because I recharge in a sink in another room.

It's pretty easy, just don't use slime products like stress coat, that screws up the media and you can't recharge it.
I was thinking its time to recharge 2 weld bags full of Purigen that i have under my wetdry tray! The stuff is very awesome imo! I wanted to ask if someone had any tips on recharging purigen. Do you use real laundry chlorine bleach and do you keep it in the weld filter bag during recharge? I would hate to mess it up and kill my fish after recherging!
So i mix half bleach and half water in a tuberware and soak the purigen and bag in bleach for 24 hours then let it soak in a tub with water and prime for 24 hours then after prime to soak the stuff another 4 hours in a tub with the discus buffer and then the stuff is ready to go another 6 months? I always have just tossed it and bought a new jar its 39.99 for 1 lb at my lfs, but recharging sounds like a good idea since i have so much of it, i am actually going to recharge about 2 LBS of it this time so i want to make sure its going to be tight! Thanks everybody, hope i am not derailing this thread!
This product is an ion exchange resin -yeah?
What does it replace the nitrogenous anions with?
chlorine perhaps?
Has anyone used this product for more than a year and monitored chemistry changes?
