Purigen

Just let it air dry for a couple of days and the bleach will dissapate

Exactly. I don't even dry it after a 24 hour Prime soak, but that would be another good precaution... if you're that scurred.

Trash can. Buy more.

That's only for the big ballas. I'm still small time

That's for people who have the money to burn. Instead of trashing it, please pass it on to me since I have the financial sense and the balls to recharge and reuse it!

Did any of y'all having the problems regenerating the Purigen happen to use any non-Sea Chem slime coat enhancing products?

From Purigens website at the very bottom of the info page...

"Caution: some slime coat products may permanently foul Purigen® and render regeneration difficult"

I wasn't able to find a Purigen specific media bag a.k.a. "the bag" online. Can someone post a link for the elusive magical bean bag?

P.S. Sunny and Bee now have a life time supply of Purigen. I can has used up Purigen?

Amazon has "the bag" listed

I have never used that media bag, I always buy the 100ml purigen that comes prebagged.

As for the slime coat bit, all good conditioners help slime coat and even prime states it on their bottle.

I only use amquel+plus and I don't regenerate purigen so I wouldn't know.

I use Purigen, regenerate it in bleach/water solution and then rinse with water and soak in Prime. I use Stress Coat Plus as my declorinator in the tanks.

The reason I use Prime to soak it after regenerating (and not Stress Coat) is because Prime doesn't use amine based polymers so no concern that it will bind to the chlorine and produce chlorimine. Using Stress Coat as my tank water dechlorinator doesn't seem to have any ill effects on it.

As for bags, I use pantyhose from Walgreens. 2 packs cost $1.00 and I can get 12 bags out of 2 pair. 12 bags for a dollar...can't beat that.

Traci, these high rollers won't recycle. I've got a standing offer of $4 per bag of used Purigen but nobody that throws it away has come through yet

I don't think anyone thinks it's hard... There's just people out there who are too scurred to do it! Mwahaha!

I have a few of "the bag". But I also use these fish bags. My wife gets them for me at welcome supermarket in china town.

LOL they are meant for cooking. but work great for purigen. They are less than a dollar a piece so I never reuse them...
