how often you guys change/regenerate your purigens? and how long does it takes for you guys to safely to use it again after regenerate it?
i only soaked them in clorox for 4-6hours, then soaked them in water + 1 capfull of de-chlorinator for 6-8 hours before using them again. is it okay for long term? it wont harm the fishes right? or the good bacta? This post has been edited by LuQEE: Jul 22 2012, 03:18 PM |

QUOTE(arrow @ Jul 22 2012, 05:49 PM) There should be instruction at the box, if i not mistaken you should soak with 1:1 water to clorox for 24hrs , then rinse well and soak with thanx bro.de-chlorinator(forgot the amount) for another 24hrs before rinse again with water, if i was you i will test with feeder fish/shrimps before putting it back into the main tank, so far i use the Purigen for 1yrs++ but i haven't regenerate it as it still not exhausted yet. ive been regenerating them for every 2 weeks. maybe they turned yellow because of the tannins due to lots of bogwood i dumped each time. so far water stays crystal clear(am i using too much? 1 purigen per feet, so 2 ft = 2 purigen), fish and shrimps not dying but i have to repeat the process every 2 weeks. will try to follow on your advice then. |

Sigh, last night was looking for a cheap 1000l/h MIC filter (just for fun) to replace my top filter,
saw those MIC filter prices..  RM220++ is a bit expensive right? even though they are MIC brand and god knows when they will fail to run properly and how easy to get their replacement parts. In the end, i thought of getting 2nd eheim 2217 from fellow hobbyist. much cheaper and worth it, easy to get spareparts, more silent(?  ), more reliable and also help other fellow hobbyist to clear their unwanted pre-loved junks  |

if youre scared, put some blanced/boiled zucinni, small piece only, remove lefovers after 6 hours.
also, take your algae wafers, crushed them into dust, and applied on the blanced zucinni, not a 100% working method, but it help, even it has a low percentage of success rate. i thought mine using this method. |

QUOTE(arrow @ Jul 29 2012, 10:32 AM) you really a purigen maniac........ hurm, but it says it will only last for a couple of months..  @@, btw did you try seachem matrixcarbon, it is a good partner of mr.purigen. 250ml treat 400L, rm30++  so should i get it or pair my purigen squad with ADA Bio-Rio? Heard after Bio-rio loses its capabilities, it still can be used as very porous lava rocks?  bro arrow, suggest me which one btw, just successfully install my MIC C filter today. The problems i experience so far is a slight hum sound when i reduce the intake flow(my 2213 also gave the same hum sound) and a few broken clips(duh..you get what you pay, this is not Eheim suction clips lol) but so far, quite please with it. |

QUOTE(deric79k @ Jul 31 2012, 12:59 AM) Where u get boraras? theres a few sellers selling them in the lyn pet sectionQUOTE(kimimaro_kun @ Jul 31 2012, 08:10 AM) nice wing.. how much per pieces??? got it free from a friend when i was in Miri last 2 weeks. well, they arent as good as those SAE, ottos or yamatoes~, can it clean the gsa and gda on glass and plant??? but they still eat my hair algae on the wall of my tank, i find they are much more gentle, unlike ottos, they dont swim here swim there, swim up or down when transferred to a new place, but just slowly 'melekat' at the tank dindings QUOTE(kimimaro_kun @ Jul 31 2012, 08:10 AM) this Boraras Brigittae can put inside shrimp tank? since the size is almost the same with CRS this one i can safely say, they are shrimp safe like ottos lol. not 100% sure, but from the looks of their mouth it seems they cant even open wide enuff to eat those shrimp eggs btw, where to get very fine brown sand? or where can self collect from the wild? looking like the one in the desert type. heard they are not very suitable for aquascaping since they are too fine? |

QUOTE(bartbarb @ Aug 2 2012, 10:31 PM) how effective it was, it said able to drop down til 4c max it really depends on ure ambient temperature and ure air room ventilation.mine i need to use 6 fans just to get 26C from 31C for my tank in my crampy room, but my other tank in the hall, dont need to use anything also already 26-28C |

QUOTE(deric79k @ Aug 2 2012, 10:53 PM) Don't need so many fans. Wat size u use? U should try my fan hurm, maybe next time, nowadays, i just use aircond, easier and hassle free since i can cool down 3 of my tanks in my room all at once.btw, you are using AC fan type? Not DC? |
