    Nick, probably gonna mod it into a de-nitrator and fill it with seachem matrix.

    • You're running 1L in that reactor?! I have the pm sr35p i can barely fit in 1L. I probably running 500g right now

      • I plan on switching out my fx5 and modding them to run only media, then maybe 2L of the regular matrix in the reactor but mod it to deprive o2 then the rest of the 20L bucket goes into the wet/dry.

        Yeah there's a liter in there, just gotta run low flow so it actually fluidizes.

          • hell no, I think the fx5 sucks arse with any kind of mechanical media, gonna strip them down and stuff them with matrix only.

            • Hello,

              I would like to know how often I need to renew Purigen it on a aqua with peat.
              I am not interested on the thing, if I need to stop and open my eheim filter 15 days.

              Thanks alot

              • You recharge it when you want to. Judge by how dark the purigen is.

                    What bag do y'all use for your purigen? I think the bag i tried was 300 micron(possibly 500) and when I went to rinse it in the sink I noticed little grits of sand like material coming out of the bag. Is that purigen coming out of the bag bc the holes are too big?

                        I would guess that's what it is.

                        I've been using the purigen packs they have. Its convenient you don't have to mess with too large a hole, bags breaking, closing the bag... let seachem take care of it.

                        I don't have the info handy, but I think each pack will treat ~100gal.

                          If I got some of the bags is purigen one of those things that I would only need 2 bags for 200g or do most people use extra? I will be running carbon through my Eheim and plan to put the purigen in my W/D.
