Water is always Chrystal clear. I run two filters a fluval 404 and aquatop cf300 with 8x turn over. I hope this is all the info I need to help.

If you have no water quality issues there is no need for Purigen.

No I have not had any issues with water quality I have massive amounts of biological in my filters and I do 40-50% water changes every Sunday. My filter circulation is almost 5x turn over on my tank. A little over filtered I’d say lol.

IMO if your not having any water quality issues I would suggest stick to what is working.

pro: helps clear up water

cons: you'll go through a lot of Bleach and Prime recharging it

No such thing as over filtered lol. I have always done a minimum of 8-10x turnover when filtering.

But I agree with the others. If you are not having any issues with water quality, I wouldn't mess with it at all.

Thanks everyone I think I will just stick to what is working and not play with a good thing it works for me. So if it's not broken don't fix it lol..
