tibbsy07 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I've only ever heard of recharging purigen via bleach (some reports of peroxide working, too). Can't do anything to phosguard that I know of Link to comment
Mariaface Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Are you thinking of Seachem Purigen? Link to comment
JavaJacketOC Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Search GFO recharge, I think I remember reading abou that process. I also think i remember reading that it probably wasn't work the effort Link to comment
Mariaface Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Careful - Phosguard is aluminum based and may not be compatible with the method for granular ferric oxide media. Plus, sodium hydroxide 'reacts violently with aluminum' according to the advanced aquarist article.. Link to comment
devaji108 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 hmmm maybe I was thinking of purigen...chemical filtration is very new to me. this is my 1st attempt. more of a bio and mechanical reefer my self but thought I would give it a try for my GHA prob. from over feeding a fish that would not eat. i'll have to go back and reread my thread so I understand why I went with phosguard over the others in the beginning ..at the time it did make since. OK good to know I really cant recharge phosguard..kinda of a bummer. for some reason I thought you could. Link to comment
devaji108 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Ok now I understand why I went with phosgaurd over purigen...as it binds Po4 where the later works with NO2, NO3 & ammonia. that said I did think you could recharge the phosguard... Link to comment
mystersyster Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Dude phosguard is like 12 bucks on amazon. If you broke as hell (been there) pay me shipping and I'll send you an almost full container. Link to comment
devaji108 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 I know I know I just thought it was reachable..haha but hey if you dont need it i'll gladly take it off your hands Link to comment
