Seachem Purigen.. Any good?

[Bubble Puffer]

Hi,

I am thinking about getting Seachem Purigen for my filter, anyone know how good is this item?

Will it cause any harm using AP StressCoat, AP Stree Zyme or Jungle Labs Tank Buddy Water Plus.

Thank you

Yes, it's a good product....not a 'must have' but will help improve your water quality. It is not a replacement for regular water changes, however.
I wouldn't use it with stress coat...or any amine based water conditioner. they will render purigen toxic.

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.™
