purigen

[TankBuster]

It's pretty easy, just don't use slime products like stress coat, that screws up the media and you can't recharge it.

Thanks for that tip, i use that stuff, or I used to use it. Do you know if Novaqua is ok to use with this stuff?

Also does anyone know how many gallons the 2 liter jar will treat?

What is Prime??

 

[MilitantPotato]

A dechlorinator that detoxifies ammonia too.

 

[philhawk]

prime is a must have for water changes and emergency nitrite, ammonia spikes

Will it get rid of tannin in the water?

 

[MilitantPotato]

Yes, and very, very well from what Joefish and a couple others have said.

Lasts longer and is more effective than carbon.

It's not working miracles for me, but it is worth the money I spent, and I'm pretty cheap.

Edit: If it's bad, ya might need to use more than recommended.

*This is word of mouth, I can't personally say if it's true or not.

i live in a city that lacks stores to carry this stuff, but the testimony was enough, I ordered some online. just a question though, it says no stresscoat when using it, but i'm pretty sure my dechlorinating stuff has some in it, and doesn't most of it? what is safe to use.

i use a product by SeaChem called Prime.

On the website they also suggest that you can use something called ChlorGuard

Definitely get prime, it is worth the money. I just added a third purigen pack to my LMB tank. Seachem products are the h-bomb.
