Don't have marines but I use purigen in my planted freshwater discus tank. It doesn't seem to have any negative effects but lots of positives. It also doesn't seem to have any long term negative effects. I've been using it for over 8 years, great stuff. Works better than activated carbon and it can be regened. I've regened mine over 100 times already and it's still going strong.

Keep us posted on the progress...

my lfs is looking into it

ill try it if they get it in

If you have a credit card, Hollywood's will courier it to you. They used to stock it but I'm not sure if they still do.

It's not cheap but when you consider it does a better job than carbon (and doesn't seem to remove the same nutrients carbon does) and can be regenerated many times, it is much cheaper than carbon in the long term.

Last time I purchased it I paid about $50 for 250grams... (equivalent to about 1kg of carbon), so is about 4x the price. When you consider a minimum of 50+ regens it is much cheaper than carbon...

It is likely to cost a bit more now as it was at least 4 years ago when I got the last lot.
