Seachem Purigen for Freshwater, 100 ml

Product Information

Seachem Purigen ist ein synthetisches Adsorptionsharz und anders als alle anderen Filtermedien. Es enthält keine Ionenaustauscher sondern ein einzigartiges, großporiges synthetisches Polymer, das lösliche und unlösliche Verunreinigungen aus dem Aquarienwasser entfernt. Die Aufnahmemenge und -geschwindigkeit übertrifft andere Filtermaterialien um über 500%. Seachem Purigen kontrolliert Ammonium, Nitrit und Nitrat durch Entfernung organischer Abfallstoffe, die sonst diese schädlichen Verbindungen erzeugen würden. Der Einfluß von Seachem Purigen auf Spurenelemente ist minimal. Das Redoxpotential wird signifikant erhöht. Es wird eine beispiellose Klarheit des Aquarien-Wassers erreicht. Seachem Purigen wird im Gebrauch nach und nach dunkel, es kann durch Behandlung mit Bleiche einfach aufgefrischt werden. Seachem Purigen ist für Süß- und Seewasseraquarien geeignet. It’s usually derived from charcoal and it’s used in a wide variety of fields, from medical uses to chemical purification.

Everybody loves a good product, with versatile features and easy usability. And when such a product comes at a great price point, it is all the more impressive. With that being said, let us introduce you to the best features you will encounter when using the Seachem Purigen mechanical filter. The peculiarity of this product is that it changes color gradually as its absorbing power decreases, which makes it very easy to know when it’s time to change it. We use Seachem Purigen primarily for its ability to successfully remove soluble impurities from the water column, like tannins and other colorations. Besides that, we rely on strong biological filtration to remove nitrogenous organic wastes, again with another Seachem product: The biological filter media, Seachem Matrix. Das Besondere an Purigen ist seine Regenerierbarkeit. Es kann durch einfaches Einweichen in einer Bleichlösung wiederhergestellt werden, was die langfristige Verwendung und Wirtschaftlichkeit dieses Produkts unterstützt. Seachem comes in different sizes for your convenience, with the most popular being 100mg. It’s important to realize that this won’t entirely replace chemical filtration for you. This filter media is more of a high-capacity mechanical filtration than a chemical one.

And in the case of saltwater tanks, it is similarly effective. It removes the toxins released by the corals and anemones among other substances. This keeps your water clear and creates a healthy environment for its inhabitants. 2. Removes organic wastes Lehký odér ryb nebo zkažených vajíček je zcela normální. Po proprání a vložení do filtru však zmizí. I’m sure you’ve been curious after hearing that purigen is renewable. Well, I am not gonna leave you unsatisfied. Here’s the process of regenerating seachem purigen: Seachem Purigen has a lot of perks, way ahead of any contemporary competition. If you’re curious to find out what does Purigen offer, you can have a look below: Purigen’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. 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.

This is the least asked question because internal filters are too small for purigen to get compartmented and perform better. REGENERATION: Once Seachem’s Purigen is exhausted, it can be regenerated with a solution of bleach and water. The bleach will literally “burn off” the organics that have been removed from the tank. Some of the recommended products can be reused if they are recharged. Some freshwater products actually use saltwater to be recharged, and therefore are not able to be utilized in marine tanks. Some products can be recharged in a mild bleach solution per the manufacturers instructions, making them a better investment.Was Purigen von anderen Filtrationsmedien unterscheidet, ist seine Fähigkeit, organische Verunreinigungen zu entfernen. Diese Verunreinigungen können die Wasserqualität verschlechtern und zu Algenwachstum führen. Purigen hält das Wasser kristallklar und fördert ein gesundes Aquariumumfeld. 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. Placing your purigen in a tank before it is fully cycled can work against the cycling process. When your aquarium is fully cycled, there would be enough bacteria on the filter media, and sufficient waste would have been produced by the inhabitants of your tank.

Activated Carbon is a carbon-derived material that has been processed to increase its absorbent properties. After soaking, let it be for 24 hours in a non-metallic container. After that time period if it becomes white again, take it out of the container. If not, then repeat process #2 until it’s white. It’s a synthetic polymer that controls ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels which can be harmful to your tank environment. Purigen® removes soluble and insoluble impurities from water at a rate and capacity that exceeds all other competing products by over 500%. It’s widely used by reefers because of its depurative qualities, as it removes all general impurities from the water, such as decomposed organics, contaminants, foul odors, toxins emitted by corals and algae.The reason seachem purigen is so popular is because it provides the user with excellent features and perks for an exceptionally reasonable price. I’ll talk about in detail below: 1. Clearer water Purigen is ideal in a marine aquarium where fitting a protein skimmer is not possible - Also ideal for small nano tanks Unfortunately, this means some trace elements needed by reef animals in saltwater aquariums may be eliminated along with the rest. The use of chemical filtration in aquariums remains controversial. Some people stand by it, and some are very much against the idea. Regardless of which of these two categories you’re part of, it is always useful to understand the key differences between the two filters in question, their advantages or disadvantages, and when best to use either.

Selectivity: 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, 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. Purigen® removes that waste faster and more completely than anything else on the market. It is a unique macro-porous synthetic polymer that helps in removing both soluble and insoluble impurities from water. As a result of this, the bacteria’s in your tank will not starve, and the purigen can simply help to control organic build up in your tank. 5/ How to use purigen in your tank? How many purigen should I use? The maximum time required for the purigen to do its work of clearing the water is 24 hours. If it does not work even after 24 hours, then remove it. Recharge it and place it in the tank again. Bottom Line
