Mread Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I have a low to medium light planted tank and have been using AC's Easy Green. I also have a small bag of Purigen in my Tidal 35 HOB filter. Should I remove the Purigen when dosing the water with Easy Green once a week? If so, how long should I have it removed? I just want to make sure the Purigen isn't pulling out the nutrients that I'm intentionally putting into the water for my plants. This is my first planted tank so I'm figuring things out. Thanks!

ARMYVET Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 From what I read...purigen should not interfere with your easy green. I dont know that for sure but that is what I have read from multiple sources. I ma sure @Corywould be the best person to answer that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac M Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Hello @Mread, please see the following screenshot from the Aquarium Co-Op website regarding Purigen: I highlighted the area that applies to this post. Purigen should not remove Easy Green. However, it is meant to remove ammonia and nitrates which plants do use to grow. Plants will still grow with Purigen in your filter as I have done it many times before but it is something to keep in mind. I hope that helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
