- Crystal Clear Water: Polishes water to unparalleled clarity
- Dual Use: Designed for both marine and freshwater aquariums
💧 How Purigen Works
Organic Waste Removal: Purigen works hard to remove nitrogenous compounds and waste produced by fish, corals, and even plants, preventing the release of harmful ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.
- Controls Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate: Removes nitrogenous organic waste before it breaks down into harmful compounds
- Minimal Impact on Trace Elements: Selective filtration preserves beneficial minerals
- Significantly Raises Redox: Improves overall water quality and oxygen levels
- Highest Organic Removal Capacity: Outperforms traditional carbon and other media
🔄 Regenerable & Reusable
Visual Indicator: Purigen ranges in color from almost white (cream) to light yellow when fresh. It darkens progressively from pale blonde to dark brown (almost black) as it exhausts, providing a clear visual indicator of when regeneration is needed.
Easy Regeneration: Once exhausted, Purigen can be regenerated with a bleach solution that literally "burns off" the organics removed from your tank, restoring it to full capacity.
📋 Regeneration Instructions
- Soak Purigen in a 1:1 bleach:water solution for 24 hours in a non-metallic container
- Use regular 8.25% hypochlorite household bleach (non-scented, no dyes, no splash-less)
- Keep in a well-ventilated area away from children
- Rinse well, then soak for 8 hours with 4 tablespoons of Prime (or equivalent dechlorinator) per cup of water
- For freshwater, soak for 4 hours with 2 tablespoons of buffer per cup of water
- Rinse well - original color and full activity should be restored
⚠️ Safety Guidelines
- Some slime coat products may permanently foul Purigen and make regeneration difficult
- Do not reuse if bleach/chlorine odor is detectable
- When in doubt, soak beads in water and test for residual chlorine with a test kit
