Gatito Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi guys, any help would fan-diddly-tastic. I bought a tank off someone, and took his accessories and bits and bobs off him as well. In this aquatic lucky-dip was a bag of something - it's a creamy white colour and looks like fine gravel. The guy said (excitement over big new tank clouds my memory perhaps) that it was silicon (????) and for my 240 litre tank i could hang about a cup of it from the lid in a net bag (included), and it slows down the build-up of a toxin (forgot what). Help!!! Anything to benefit my tank is great, but i want to know what i've got before I start using it. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quack Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 sounds like a bag of purgin or something not silcone tho?? could you post a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Sounds like it might be that stuff that absorbs Ammonia. Best not to use it as you'll just starve your bactera, then when it stops working, no bacteria to back you up. One of those emergency only tools.

Freakyfish Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Id say more then likely in Purigen Is it about the same size roughly as a wallet? Very small pellets size granules in a very fine mesh bag? If so http://www.seachem.com will tell you everything you need to know about Purigen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
