Product review

Has anyone heard/used Purigen filter media by Seachem? I'm just wondering if it really lives up to the hype?

It might be useful in some situations. I just run activated carbon, personally.

Thaks for the opinions! I guess I can always try it and see if I like it as much SeaGel

You'd probably be happier with a GFO type phosphate media instead of the Seachem product. Phosban, RowaPhos, or PhosAr would be my choice. Other than that you can run some carbon along with it.
