Can you please tell how long did you use the "Pristine" until you saw the results mentioned above?

Thank you

Between one and two weeks.

I have been using Pristine for over a month on my Discus tank and works great. I have gravel and I use it once a week, keeping my gravel clean and most of the fish poops almost disappear. Now, I'm trying Purigen on my filter to see how works.

So what are the pluses for using Pristine and Stability on regular basis, if you have an established tank?

You're wallet will be easier to sit on.

I use Purigen and Pristine, and do not use Stability on a regular basis. They are both an essential part of my filtration system. Here is a list of the benefits that I have achieved:


1) Pristine crystal clear water.
2) Elimination of algae (even with the lights on 24/7).
3) Elimination of nitrate (bright yellow using API test kit).
4) Automatic removal of feces and uneaten food (no siphoning required).
5) Pristine clean glass and decorative items (no wiping required ).
6) Healthy bilogically clean water free from organic compounds (suspended or dissolved).
7) No tank maintenance for at least one month, other than daily water exchange which is fully automated.

The cost of the Pristine is insignificant. A one liter bottle lasts me about 3 years

Hope this is helpful.

How do you know you are not seeing the placebo effect? A healthy bacterial load in your tank will make fish poop and other things go away after establishing itself in a couple of weeks time.

Because I know why and how the complete filtration system functions. All of this is explained in great detail at my Homestead page. Please refer to the stickies at the top of the Homestead page. Here is the link:

Would be glad to discuss this and answer any questions that you might have.
