![]() Dont usually resurrect an old thread, but I am wondering what peoples opinion of purigen is? Right now I am running GFO and Carbon with a skimmer. Is Purigen more efficient than carbon .. especially in a tank where I spoil my softies with feeding...but also keeping SPS.

I think as I just stated above, about recharging it is the best reason to use it. You don't throw it out, you clean and reuse, so it is a money saver.

![]() Global, I was thinking of using purigen in a QT tank. If later you added some medicine, would you have to take the purigen out?
Thanks |
