Well I'm just wondering is purigen worth me getting ?

I was thinking about buying some carbon like a liter and some purigen then some LR rubble for the back of my aquapod I'm getting.. Is that a good idea ? On recharging the purigen am I right in saying you use a light concentration of bleach water for soaking wait awhile then do some rinses ?

I'm hoping that will take out some of the nitrates so I don't have do do tons of initial water changes.

Get the 3pk of Purigen from Drsfostersmith.com which is like $18 and ditch the carbon.....

 

recharging is cleaning in bleach, rinse and then soak in seachem Prime de-chlorinator.

Alright then screw the carbon :) The dechlorinater may cost abit but I'll be abkle to reuse the purigen 3 times over for each package. I'm ordering from DR foster and smith there aquapods are cheaper than anywhere else and there products are pretty cheap compared to other places.

But there livestock prices are horrific.
