scythe Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well I have been using it and it seems to do some good, but I really have nothing to compare it to. I notice that a lot of fine black soot collects around my tank whenever the chemi pure bag is moved or the flow changes ( i turn off the pumps ) Im starting to dislike this and i am getting worried that it is going to sit in my tank and leach back into the water. So what is everyones experience? Link to comment
moto826 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yours puts brown stuff in the water that's not good Joke that's what I use Link to comment
JayEeeTeeEss Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I use elite.. make sure you give it a good rinse out of the tank before you put it in, most of the fine stuff will be removed. Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I use it (Chemi-pure elite) and love it Link to comment
scythe Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yours puts brown stuff in the water that's not good Joke that's what I use Its black..you dont get this? I use elite.. make sure you give it a good rinse out of the tank before you put it in, most of the fine stuff will be removed. I think it is elite, oh its been in there about 2 weeks.. I rinsed it out real well too. Its weird like you cannot see it in the water but it appears on the LR and especially on the sand. I use it (Chemi-pure elite) and love it What did it do for you? Is it possible I tore the bag?.. hmm I never thought about that before. Link to comment
fiction101 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I run filter floss on top of mine. Link to comment
saltwaternoob Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 i run filter floss and chemi pure elite its a whole lot better then chemi pure Link to comment
scythe Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 i run filter floss and chemi pure eliteits a whole lot better then chemi pure In what way though? How can YOU compare the two. Oh what difference have YOU seen. Link to comment
Colione Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I run elite. I have to rinse mine for like 30 minutes in a bucket with like 5 batches of RODI water to get it clean. I stopped a month ago, and now I run dual BRS which is pretty sweet Link to comment
scythe Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Crap i gotta head to class, NANO REEF IS TOO ADDICTING IM GOING TO MISS FINALS! Anyways, before I do go. Would there be any harm if i remove the bag and cut it open to separate it into smaller bags then rinse and put back... I would imagine just a small bit of bacteria would die off. Link to comment
Crippler Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I've used Chemi-pure Elite in the past and it worked fine. I've since switched over to mixing my own carbon and GFO blend. It's more economical than purchasing bag after bag of Chemi-pure Elite. Saves a ton of cash. Link to comment

Billdemart Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 In what way though? How can YOU compare the two. Oh what difference have YOU seen. It has GFO... I'm going to do the BRS bulk/build your own thing next time though. I run Elite, Purigen, and Floss. Link to comment
Billdemart Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 BRS reactor = win. Yessir. Link to comment
scythe Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 there's no bacteria involved uh wouldnt there be some bacteria colonizing on the bag that has been in my system for a couple of weeks? Link to comment
gutterguy Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I put in my tank and next day noticed a big difference in clarity, Very expensive to buy locally compared to carbon... looking to here from more people that have used both and switched. Also what is GFO blend? Link to comment

Also what is GFO blend? It is very pricey, I have a big bag of carbon i could make my own mix with but i wanted to try the chemi pure. Also what is the BRS ? Link to comment
sammiewags Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 It has GFO... I'm going to do the BRS bulk/build your own thing next time though. I run Elite, Purigen, and Floss. +1 use the same method. Link to comment
bruce922 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I use Elite and love it. I also use Seachem Purigen and love that to. They both do the same thing, but I'm alfraid to take one of them out. My water and crystal clear all the time and don't know which one if keeping it that way. Link to comment
Sushi Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Elite user here too... what I don't like about the product, is throwing it away every 2-3 months to swap for a new one. Makes it seem like such a waste. Link to comment
Billdemart Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Also what is the BRS ? A reactor that you can run all this stuff in. I have Purigen, CP Elite, and Floss in mine. Run by a little maxi jet pump. Flows pretty well in and out of my medium aquafuge2 Link to comment
OClownsandNanos Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Wow Billdemart you're already all high-tech! I might consider that in the future as my teeny weeny whisper filter's not doing much and sometimes vibrates my glass. OP, check out bulkreefsupply.com. That's what "BRS" stands for. Which maxijet do you have running it? Link to comment
dorito Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 In which order do you guys put your media in the filter?, I have Floss, Chemi-pure, Purigen then cheato, Is this ok or should I change the order? Link to comment

Which maxijet do you have running it? Not sure, for a while I had the Rio 400 pump on there, wasn't that great. I switched to this little pump and it's much better for some reason. In which order do you guys put your media in the filter?, I have Floss, Chemi-pure, Purigen then cheato, Is this ok or should I change the order? Chaeto Chemi Pure Elite Floss Purigen I'm about to change the order though to Chaeto Floss Purigen Chemi-Pure Elite Link to comment
