Purigen in New tank?

I started running purigen in my common area tank. The driftwood in there throws off an insane amount of tannins and I was constantly getting pestered about my 'dirty' water. With purigen it's crystal clear, but it's not something I'd typically run, especially not in a brand new setup.

I think I need a crash course in cannister filter maintenance.  I changed the water and cleaned the pre-filter, because the filter was running slow. When I hooked the filter back up, it barfed up a bunch of degraded plant material into the tank. Possibly the source of the extra nitrites? It's only been running for 20 days, I didn't think I'd need to clean the filter this early.
