I haven't visited The Krib in years. Thanks for posting this!
EDIT: Meant to add, I'd love to see a similar test done for Purigen and Chemi-Pure Green.
No science or study behind it, but I've seen reports of fresh Purigen having a negative impact on a tank where the owner was playing with custom micro blends. His old (and likely "full" ) Purigen was replaced with new stuff, and his plants began showing negative signs, the only thing he changed was a new bag or Purigen, nothing else.
I have used it in most of my tanks, but I never really see a big difference in water clarity so I don't bother anymore.
That is interesting! Would be great to see a recent test done.
One experienced member here from years back (Rivercats) reported no difference with plants in tanks with / without carbon but tbh I think her tanks were the best large planted tanks I've ever seen regardless.
Stumbled across it and thought must post (even if a bit old)
