The Purigen challenge

[CClump]

So after reading all these posts lately about the amazingness of purigen i decided to get some mself.
Below is a picture of my 106gal after an approximately 55 gallon change.

Youll notice the white cloudiness with the minerals? floating in the water. It really doesnt clear up after a few hours either and so i will do a now picture and one with about 250ml in "the Bag" in my ac 70 probably around 24 hours from now.
Also a picture of my newest addition a 5" male jag.
Filtration is the ac 70 and an eheim pro3 2075.
I should also note my 2 29gallons dont get cloudy ever but are also upstairs.

Can't wait to see how your tests comes out.

I think your croc died some time ago.
I look forward to your results.

19 hours later. About what it normally looks like. Readjusted how the purigen was sitting inside the ac 70.

Confused... what it normally looks like with the clouding or BEFORE the clouding?

 

[CClump]

this is what my tank usually looks like. However the purigen IS in there still. So in other words, none to very little change at this point

I'll take your word for it but it is hard to say in the pictures what is water bubbles and/or not...
I use a 100mg bag on my 30gal and It works great to help my overstock...

You'll get better results with the purigen in your canister, there will be significantly less water bypassing the purigen and actually passing through the bag of purigen

So what is your theory on what the clouding is due to anyway?

you cloudiness is bubbles and not enough mech filtration
