Anyone had any experience with the SeaChem Purigen product for removing Tannins from Malaysian Driftwood?
I have tried a couple of times but it does not seem anywhere near as effective as plain carbon. The Purgien seemed to foul and turn dark brown very quickly and was stained permanently. The best thing I know is patience and water changes.
Is there any specific brand of carbon I should use? I'm new to the whole adding different types of media...and is there inserts that you can put together and make your own inserts for the HOB filters?
Also what does the +1 do? New to these forums as well.

I attached a picture of the tank.
