I've been using carbon in my tank since I started in this hobby and am thinking about changing to Purigen. I use Purigen along with carbon now in the 100mL bags and rotate them in and out as I recharge them. I was wondering if it would be wise to use more Purigen instead of both. I've been dealing with phosphates and I know that carbon can be a contributor. Also, I've been looking at a a BRS dual media reactor and want to put phosguard in one chamber with purigen in the other. Any thought? Plus, carbon is kind of a pain. If purigen will do the same thing, I can't think of any reason not to. It's more expensive but easy to bleach, Prime and recharge.
