How does Purigen differ from Seachem's other product called Prime?
382458
Purigen is a filtration product that removes Nitrates from the water, it is for use in the filter only. Prime is a water conditioner that removes chlorine from the water for use when changing water or starting up a new tank.

Prime is a water conditioner, it removes and makes things less toxic from tap water, while Purigen removes organic waste from the water in your tank (fish poo, dead algae, and other stuff)

That bottle is actually mislabeled.. It is a large bottle of Multipurpose. I just ordered one myself and it is not the marine cleaner. I sort of figured it was mislabeled because the marine Spray Nine has a blue label if memory serves. To answer your question, though, the marine cleaner has a somewhat stronger version of the same smell. I don't know about you but I really like the "clean scent" that Spray Nine leaves without being sweet or florally.

i read that seachem purigen can also be ruined if you use dechlorinators that have slime coat agents in them, like aloe and other slimy stuff. like API Stress coat - you cant put that in your tank if you are using purigen or other polymer resin type stuff and it also ruins certain other medias like DeNitrate by coating or clogging it up.

PUR used to make it, then katadyn bought the company and changed the name and the housing a bit, but my research indicates they use the exact same filter.

The difference is in shipping. If you can take advantage of the Amazon Prime no shipping benefit, then I see no difference between the two.

Yes, you can use ParaGuard in conjunction with Prime.On the official Seachem forums, here is what a Seachem support admin has to say about using the two together:"ParaGuard will not impact ammonia levels nor give a false positive reading....I also would recommend using Prime in conjunction with the ParaGuard in order to keep your fish safe from ammonia toxicity. You can dose with the Prime every 48 hours as needed."http://www.seachem.com/support/forums/showthread.php?t=3676

Nautica Voyage has more of a greenlear, cedar and musk smell. While Nautica Blue has more of a citrus smell. Both work well during the spring/summer season.

I am not sure about others but I could notice the differences. I purchased both sponges since I couldn't decide at that time. Size wise, this sponge is more practical and easier for me to hold because it is much bigger than puresol. Color wise, puresol sponge is very black and when I first soaked it, the water turned black, which made me believe some kind of chemical coloring must have been added. Then I looked at the box and it says that puresol brand is made in China. Since there are many questionable Chinese products in the market, I decided I didn't want to use it on my skin. So far I have used this my konjac brand for the past few months and my skin has never looked better. Love it!

Nope they are not the same. This leaf zone prevents your the leaves of your plants from getting transparent due to lack of potassium. I would get this leaf zone and flourish excel. And skip seachem flourish. Flourish and flourish excel is not the same. I know kinda confusing at first.

I use it for Seachem Matrix which is heavier than phosban, so don't put too much in there.

The only difference is the the packaging. Both are 25g sponges w/ same ingredients.

Yes, it is exactly the same product, I am not sure how it ends up on amazon, but who cares, it's the best price and it allowes you to use their products, I use the facial serum every day, ( I bought it and have another coming fri from amazon) all the seacret products are great, the distributor prise is not as good as aamazon and their are no strings attached.

I would go with a Fluval 106 nothing bigger, then you can just lay the purigen in the basket.

I agree with A. riches 100% I too have a 29 gallon tank and use 100ml in an AquaClear 70, my tank is understocked and my organic waste is minimal so I only recharge every 6 months and my water quality remains impecable, the ammonia is 0, the nitrites are 0 and crystal clear, Purigen is truly amazing stuff if used correctly.
