Seachem Purigen for Freshwater, 100 ml

Product Information

If you need to medicate your tank, you do not have to remove purigen as it does not impact the efficiency of the medication. 6. Does not leach chemicals Indeed, if you have the patience and space for it, you can pre-soak wood for some weeks before placing it in the aquarium. Pre-watering is not feasible for us for several reasons, so we are glad to have a working alternative in Seachem Purigen to get clear water right from the get-go. verfügt über eine größere Kapazität aufgrund seiner großen Oberfläche -sowohl sphärisch als auch makroretikulär

Purigen is recommended for a freshwater tank, especially when such a tank contains driftwood. Driftwood contains humic substances that often leaks into your aquarium water; these substances tend to cause water discolorations. Purigen will help clear up your water and ensure it remains clear. Purigen's impact on trace elements is minimal. It significantly raises redox. It polishes water to unparalleled clarity. Purigen darkens progressively as it exhausts, and is easily renewed by treating with bleach. Purigen is designed for both marine and freshwater use. Rinse before use. Purigen will keep absorbing waste. After prolonged use, it will start losing its effectiveness and turn darker in color. But that doesn’t mean you have to throw it away. You can actually regenerate it! And the method to regenerate Seachem purigen isn’t hard at all. I’ll include the method below. Next up, you will need to mix water and bleach on a 1:1 ratio ( notably, the total amount isn’t really important because keeping the ratio at 1:1 is critical). The mesh bag will need to sit in this mixture for about 24 hours without being disturbed too much.Although this phenomena exists with any polymer type resin (not just Purigen) it is particularly acute with Purigen® because Purigen® predominantly and selectively binds and removes amines (whereas other resins indiscriminately bind amines and other chemical groups). So the point is, it happens with all resins, but it happens more with Purigen®. However it is not merely the fact that there is an amine present since Purigen® removes a whole host of organic amine based nitrogenous waste and this is no issue at all since in those cases since those materials are readily oxidized and "burned" off the Purigen®. Edit: The tannins from the driftwood and Indian almond leaf were acting as a buffer, keeping my pH stable. Shortly after adding Purigen, my snails started croaking. My pH has remained consistent all that time until now (tap is pH 7.6, neither hard nor soft.) I've dosed a few times with pH neutralizer, but can't get the pH higher than 6.0. Also, the Kh is now low... Long story short: I'm going to move the snails to a different habitat, and keep a close watch to be sure my pH doesn't continue to drop.

No, purigen is safe for your fish or plant. Although purigen absorbs organics which contribute to nitrate levels, it will not cause the nitrate to drop to a level so low that it will negatively affect your plants. So the plants in your tank will still have access to the adequate amounts of macronutrients they need. Do I still need purigen if I am using protein skimmer? It’s a synthetic polymer that controls ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels which can be harmful to your tank environment. This actually helps you because dosage management is important in such tanks. 5. Can work side by side with other medications Purigen certainly helps in making your aquarium water clearer. If the water gets discolored due to tannin or other such substances, use of Seachem Purigen can help you in clearing that up. It removes microscopic particles from the water to make it look much more clearer.

Frequently asked questions

One of the most satisfying things about an aquarium that you set up and maintain by yourself is getting to enjoy its beauty, and to do so, the water inside the aquarium needs to be clear as day. This aquarium filtration media will always ensure that your freshwater or saltwater aquarium remains colorless, odorless, and clear by removing microparticles that discolor the water.

It is an organic filtration resin that keeps your water tank clean from all the waste and nitrogenous compounds that your fish and other aquarium inhabitants create. If you add Seachem purigen in the recommended amount of water, it should start working after a few hours of placing. However, it won’t take more than 24 hours to show its magic. . Is Purigen better than Activated carbon?That wraps up the regeneration process. After that last step and the chlorine test have been completed successfully, you can use the newly regenerated Seachem Purigen anytime you want. Selectivity: Seachem Purigen is the highest capacity organic filtration resin on the market. No other products can compare to its ability to clear haziness and polish water to unparalleled clarity. Unlike other products on the market which are simple ion-exchange resins, Seachem Purigen is specifically designed to be an organic scavenging resin. When ion-exchange resins are filled to capacity by metals and other contaminants, Purigen has barely begun to reach its potential. Purigen generally ignores simple elemental compounds, having an extreme affinity for nitrogenous organics. The primary source of nitrogenous compounds in an aquarium is waste. Fish, corals, even plants produce nitrogenous waste. Seachem Purigen removes that waste faster and more completely than anything else on the market.

Purigen lze regenerovat - postupně do sebe nasává nečistoty a mění se na tmavý. Jestliže jej ponoříte do roztoku SAVA s vodou, vyčistíte jej a bude znovu jako nový. V některém z příbalových letáků jsem četl, že nedoporučujete po regeneraci používat odstraňovače chlóru, které jsou založeny na amino-složkách. Proč?“ Capacity: PurigenÂ’s possesses enhanced capacity owing to its vast surface area. All other resins on the market are purely spherical extruded beads. These beads remain smooth even under a microscope. Seachem Purigen is both spherical and macroreticular. It has microscopic pores that increase its usable surface area to many times that of a purely spherical resin. The filter bag should be approximately the right size for the amount of Purigen you need and the mesh shouldn’t be too large, so as to prevent the particles from escaping.It also reduces water pollution and helps against the discoloration of the water. Its effect is already evident after only a few hours from the first use. The macro-porous and sphere-shaped structure of purigen allow it to have more tiny pores. Having so many pores makes it more functional in removing wastes and gives it a higher capacity than other filtration media. 4. Least effect on beneficial trace elements Kapazität: Seachem Purigen hat durch seine enorme Oberfläche eine umfangreiche Aufnahmefähigkeit. Alle anderen verfügbaren Harze sind glatte Kügelchen, selbst unter dem Mikroskop sieht man bei diesen eine glatte Oberfläche. Purigen besteht zwar ebenfalls aus Kügelchen, diese sind aber nicht glatt. Seachem Purigen besitzt mikroskopische Poren, die seine aktive Oberfläche um ein Vielfaches größer machen als bei glatt-kugeligen Harzen. The filter bag should also be chlorine-proof, as it will be fundamental when you’re regenerating the material. How To Regenerate Purigen
