So thinking of crossing over the debate line and going no carbon. I have always been pro carbon but the more I am reading the more I am thinking of going away from it in general use.
Any advice on alternatives to carbon. I could go the double sponge or bio route but I am more interested in another form of chemical filtration for dissolved organics. I have increased mechanical and bio-filtration already with my internal sponge filters. I found Purigen but would be interested in any suggestions.
Users of SeaChem Purigen, what are your thoughts on it? And does it really last 6 months? If not, what is the realistic life of the product? I like the idea of less often media changing.
Running a Fluval C4, and 3 AquaClear 50's on my tanks. Would the 100 ml already meshed bagged work for me? If I did my math correct (1 L treats 1000 so 1 ml treats 100). Concerned in the size mostly for the AquaClears, the mechanical compartment in the Fluval is quite large. Read a lot if complaints about finding mesh bags to contain it so I may be better served by the profiles bag.
