tetra aquasafe and purigen? - Aquarium Advice

Felf · 02-07-2005, 03:55 AM

i've been reading a lot about purigen so i bought some and so far it's working great. i read that water conditioners that are amine based will react with the beads and create chloramines. can i use aquasafe?

ingredients: sodium hydroxymethane sulfinate, polyvinyl pyrollidones, organic hydrocolloids, organic chellating compounds

P.S. i also read that aquasafe has vitamin b1 in it

I wouldn't play the guessing game with this one, Try using Seachem Prime, it definately doesn't have them, no other product seems to mark this on thier website or on thier bottle

Sorry, I figured you found purigen, youl'd be able to find that

If there's a petsmart out there, they carry it. (white bottle, red label) oh, and it's 1ml/10Gal (1 tsp / 50Gal) whereas most other stuff is 1tsp/ 10gal so you should get 5x the mileage out of a bottle.
