From what I understand this absorbs organic waste but does not work well on its own, needs reactor, needs high water flow... .... To my mind of thinking this purigen should work well with any contact of water containing organics, and not having to break down the organics much like a protein skimmer. If you told me this could be added to my filtration canister, and then had the same wow factor then I would be intrigued enough to try it. I get a wow factor with water by running the water through a micron sock in my aged tank. Right now I think it is a bit of too much trouble, time, and money for me. If you can show me that this works on a simple contact like filter media then I will bite.
