Looking for ideas for best way to run Purigen??? I'm currently use the 100 ml bag placed at bottom of filter sock so water run through it before it goes into the rest of my sump...Just wanted to get feedback from other forum members on how they use it....:)

I dont use purigen but reactors are alot more effective versus the bag in the sump.

I haven't used Purigen in a while but when I did, a reactor was the best option. You need to force the water thru it to be effective...

For the small amount of media needed, and the low flow needed you could just use a TLF 150. Not the best, but not too bad. I use one for phosguard.
