Just out of curiosity, even though my tank water is pretty clear particle wise, im thinking of trying purigen again but on a low tech tank.
I know the stuff absorbs organic compounds tannins etc, so if this is the case does it mean that it would also remove all the beneficial properties that come with alder cones almond leaves and peat etc ie antifungal and ph lowering plus any humic acid produced???
I only ask as I have a fair amount of alder cones and almond leaves. I dont mind the tannins etc but do have some fine particles that the filtet doesn't quite catch which purigen would hold onto but I dont want to lose what benefits I get from the cones and leaves.
Thanks for any help
