I need dosing help with Chemipure/purigen

[king_neptune]

I have a 29g cube, a bottle of chemipure and a bottle of Purigen.
Unfortunately I don't see any literature on the bottles that gives dosing instructions.
How many table spoons of each should I add to the filter bags?
Thanks.

Guess nobody knows. I jsut eyeballed and filled the pouch.
Fromwhat I read there is no overdose. So I should be ok.

<--- never used it
I use Exthraphos .... love it....
tell me how you like those 2,,, my LFS gave me some in a media bag a long time ago to try and maybe it wasnt newly moistened or whatever but it didnt do anything...

Thats pretty much the standard with chemi pure. People either swear by it, or despise it.
My understanding is it deffinatly stunts coral growth. And filter bags should be switched out monthly, not every 6 months. The packaging is misleading, says it treats water up to 6 months...but that is for the whole container...and switching it out a little at a time.
Ill do chemipure till I run out or find something better.

I ordered GFO and Carbon from **************.
I know people personally who use it and watched some youtube videos of it in action and seems to be a big difference between media. Just waiting to set up reactors on my main and frag tanks and pull out my extra phosphates and get some "crystal" clear water. Ahh if only money had no end (although the order was fairly cheap).

I do it BRS carbon/gfo in thier twin reactor on my 125 system. I love it. Although GFO is REALLY expensive.
