Purigen -- Which is the best place to put it?

I would like to add that Purigen shouldn't be used with some 'slime-coat' products/water conditioners(amine based) as these react with the Purigen making it toxic. The best water conditioner to use with Purigen is Prime.

This was copied from Seachem.com - Purigen FAQs:

Q:On some of the Purigen™ documentation I have read it says that some slime coat products can contaminate Purigen™ and render it toxic. Can you identify these products ?
A: Only certain slime coat products will cause Purigen™ to become toxic; the products that do this are amine based. Prime™ and Safe™ are not amine based and so will not cause this problem. If you're curious, what happens is that the amine compounds can strongly bind to the resin, then when they (the amines) come into contact with any chlorine they will form chloramines which are highly toxic. We offer a stress coat product, StressGuard™, which is not amine based and so can be used in conjunction with Purigen.™

Just a heads up for those unaware of this.
 
Thanks, Slappy!

Y'know, I have to admire the restraint of the people posting in this thread. I just reread the title I gave it and I'm surprised no one told me where I could *really* put it :devil:

Which is better, Purigen or Chemi-Pure?

I've used Chemi-Pure for years with great success, but have always wondered
about Purigen. How does it compare to Chemi-Pure? Does the 6 months vs the rechargeable factor make Purigen the winner? I'm running a Eheim 2026 for a 55g freshwater tank with an oscar, texas cichlid, convict, plecos & raphaels.

Thanks!
