This guy has done some theater.

I'm in love with Seachem Purigen!!! What an amazing product by Seachem! Thank You Thomas for the info on NOT to use any slime coat conditioner while using Seachem Purigen. Good video! 👍

Thomas, you are a crack up. Love the info and consult your site whenever I have a question about my tanks.

I love Purigen. Keeps my water crystal clear.

Love your videos Thomas, you have been a huge inspiration to me and I hope the videos keep on coming 👍🏻

I had never heard of that warning before about slim coat and purigen. I have both Prime and API water conditioner and slime coat but thank god I had only been using prime. Thanks for the tip!

I love the big al's near me! And the channel! Just watched the huge aquarium feeding yesterday.

Thank you for the tips and advice!

Thank you for this video. Helped me out so much with using carbon.

Intense and fun as always! Sweet tips. Gotta stock up on my media

Good info.

I love your jokes, expressions & presentation. Very impressive.

No need to insult this guy.

What if you used a slimecoat additive when you started up your tank, how many weeks after could you start using Purigen? Or how do you make it safe to use Purigen? Thanks!

are those bongs in the background? If one drops acid into an aquarium will the fish get wasted? Or would the zeolite aDsorb it? (opposed to aBsorb)

Awesome vids, you totally helped me setup my new Eheim 2217, but I have a question please, I have a Turtle tank, with above basking area, with a RES (hatchling) and few guppies, I bought zeolite to remove ammonia , how much should i add if i want to keep it in the filter, i have a 23 GAL tank, will be upgrading my tank eventually when my turtle will need it.

Awesome video👍👏👏👏

Great video, great beard. Keep them coming 👍

Dude The way you talk & explain each product, amazing.. Its little bit better then BRS guys in my opinion.

wonderful video 👏👏🤙🤘👌✌💪tank you nice explanations men 👏👏

love it !

Hi mate... I really love all your suggestions and so grateful when you provide all tips. Just wondering if you can give me some advice. I am new to aquarium and I have aqua one fish tank 65 litres and have been running from last 5 weeks and every time I test water my amonia is always high. I have tried all suggestion give by my local stores like I have used stress zyme stress coat, water conditioning, stability, and neutral regulator(not using all these at once) but my amonia is always high. I was also give active bio media from local store but still didn't worked.. Can you advice me something

Hi! I have a 55 Gallon tank with 6 young angelfish, 7 Corydoras, 12 Van Rio Tetras, and 12 Bloodfin Tetras. I'm setting up a 3-stage canister filter (which I've never done before) and need help with my basket setup. Any video recommendations? or recommendations in general? Thanks!

I just bought the ChemiPure today at Petco. My dad knows the CEO of SeaChem (Austrian Economics stuff) and Im pretty sure he's met him before.

what does purigen actually do? does it keep the water clear like activated carbon or help reduce nitrates? which is its main part of work?

Great tips and did not know about the potential issue with Purigen and Water Conditioners. I usually use Stress Coat, would this be one of conditioners that are not to be used with Purigen?

Can you use Purigen with Seacham Stabilize?

Hi, I’m new to aquariums, i have one question Are Tetra products good for tanks ? Because in my country we don’t have your products... Btw i love your videos

Damn good video thomas

So I use Seachem Prime but also a slime coat product and salt. Should I do a huge water change before adding Purigen or is that necessary if I cease using the slime coat conditioner?

Hey how's the mega build?!

See you got the beard back I like how it is now

dope shirt

So how about if you have a planted aquarium

how does anyone feel about Chemi pure elite or even blue in planted tank? I tried the the one for planted and was not impressed at all. I find Blue and eLite way better when it comes to polishing the tank. I had the planted and purigen together and the water clarity still suck after weekly water changes.

Will chemipure elite remove ammonia, nitrites, & nitrate??

Yay

What are slim coat conditioners give me a couple name please I only use seachem products and wanted to try purigen

As long as you are using SEACHEM Products ONLY, then No Worries about Conflicts. They make their Products to be Compatible and Active with each other. Just a matter of choosing the Right ones for the type of Tank and Fish you keep.

Hi, what's the difference between Seachem Matrix and Seachem Matrix Carbon in terms of convenience?? I also see available other filtration products like Seachem Renew. I'm starting into the hobby and I feel lost.

SEACHEM Matrix Carbon is a Water Filtration Media. SEACHEM Matrix is a Biological Media, It provides "nesting space" for your Beneficial Bacteria that generate the continuous Ammonia Eliminating, NitrAte Producing "Nitrogen Cycle". For these two products, Matrix would be mandatory, with Matrix Carbon used as an extra option.

@@dustinmcdowell7710 , SEACHEM Stability and a source of Ammonia to Start and Maintain a continuous Nitrogen Cycle. SEACHEM Matrix will provide a "Nesting Place" for the two Bacteria Colonies that Produce the "Nitrogen Cycle". Do a Fishless Cycle, start your Ammonia between 2.0 and 3.0 ppm until you start to find Nitrite (7 -10 days), then keep Ammonia around 1.0 ppm until you start finding NitrAte (usually an additional 7 - 10 days). Once Both Ammonia and Nitrite start to read 0.0 ppm and NitrAte is still Increasing then slowly start Stocking your tank. In a healthy tank water should test 0.0 ppm for both Ammonia and Nitrite. And you will have steadily increasing NitrAte, that is best to limit to 40.0 ppm MAX. There is No Media that actually "removes" NitrAte. You dilute the NitrAte Level by performing Water Changes routinely.

Hey why not. If it doesn't say it on the label go to town.

Purigen doesn't remove nitrates, nitrites, Ammonia. It just removed organics that might convert to Ammonia

Hi

The purigen bag filter, I have the prime water conditioner. The prime water conditioner says it provides slime coat, does that mean I can’t use it? Because you recommended 2 water conditioners and prime was one of them... help

Prime does not provide slime coat. It only detoxify Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate and rid the water of Chlorine. I never had any problem using them together.
