Can you use Purigen and Phosguard together?

Can you use Purigen and Phosguard together?

Whilst they won’t have any negative effect running them together you Should be aware of what you doing to your water.

Does Purigen reduce phosphates?

Although the organic precursors of nitrogenous compounds are absorbed, Purigen does not remove nitrate, urea and phosphate, so your aquarium plants still have sufficient amounts of the macronutrients they need.

What does Purigen remove from water?

Purigen® controls ammonia, nitrites and nitrates by removing nitrogenous organic waste that would otherwise release these harmful compounds. Purigen’s impact on trace elements is minimal. It significantly raises redox. It polishes water to unparalleled clarity.

Does Purigen raise pH?

Purigen® does not release any buffering agents or acids into the water, nor is it capable of impacting the mineral concentration in any way, so it will not directly impact the pH, KH, or GH of the aquarium.

Does Purigen affect biological filter?

Using Purigen® will not, however, “starve out” beneficial bacteria colonies. When a tank is new, the bacteria colonies need as much organic waste as possible to cycle the tank quickly, so this reduction in total waste works against you.

Does Purigen lower pH?

How long can I leave PhosGuard in tank?

4 days
PhosGuard™ needs to be replaced every 4 days as long as there is a phosphate problem because, given an infinite amount of available phosphate, PhosGuard™ absorbs phosphate so quickly that it reaches its full capacity in 4 days.

Does PhosGuard lower alkalinity?

PhosGuard’s™ efficiency is maximal when new and will effect a rapid fall in phosphate to less than 0.02 mg/L phosphate. Phosphate is bound irreversibly and will not be released. Carbonate is weakly and reversibly bound so that the tank may experience a slight decline in alkalinity.

Does Purigen remove tannic acid?

So, why would we want to use carbon? Other media, such as Seachem Purigen, also remove tannins, but tend not to affect the ph of the water…so if you like a lower pH environment but are not a fan of the tint (gasp!), you’d be advised to use this media in place of activated carbon.
