I use both Purigen and Chemipure Elite in my aquarium as part of the 'chemical filtration'. It's been nearly 6 months and I think it's time to change them out. Do I put the new bags in with the old ones for a little while, or will the bioballs and live rock supply enough bio-filtration that I can just take out the old ones immediately?
My phosphate level was .25 which I think might be another indicator that it's time to change the Purigen. Would you agree with this assumption?
I know I can regenerate the purigen, but I just don't want to take the chance using bleach and accidentally killing everything in my tank. Besides.....I have a 1/2 a bottle of left over Purigen from the last time, so all I'll need to to is get two fine mesh filtration bags to put it in :)
If you have any advice, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks
