Product details
Seachem Purigen 100mL Bagged (165) is synthetic filter media designed for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Used in a media chamber, canister filter, box filter, or other high-flow filtration areas, Purigen helps remove soluble and insoluble impurities—especially nitrogenous organic waste—so the aquarium water stays clearer and unwanted organics are less likely to accumulate in the water column.
Features:
- Reduces nitrogenous organic waste that can build up from fish, coral, and plant waste
- Designed as a macro-porous synthetic polymer adsorbent (not a mixture of ion exchangers/adsorbents)
- Polishes water clarity by adsorbing impurities that contribute to haziness
- Works in multiple filtration setups, including canister filters, media chambers, box filters, and trickle-style/high-flow areas
- Can be regenerated for long-term use; media darkens as it becomes exhausted
- Regeneration is performed with a bleach and water soak, then rinsing and reconditioning before reuse
Specifications:
- Product type: Synthetic adsorbent filter media (bagged)
- Quantity: 100 mL bagged
- Intended use: Freshwater and saltwater filtration
- Regeneration (as provided): Soak in a 1:1 bleach and water solution for 24 hours (non-metallic container, well ventilated); rinse well; soak for 8 hours with a solution containing 4 tablespoons Seachem Prime per cup of water; rinse well; for freshwater, soak 4 hours with a solution containing 2 tablespoons buffer per cup of water (e.g., Seachem Discus Buffer or Seachem Neutral Regulator); rinse well and return to service
- Exhaustion indicator: Changes from pale blonde to dark brown/near black as it adsorbs waste
