FAQ: Can I use Seachem Purigen® in a tank where I'm keeping ______?

Yes!  Purigen® exclusively removes organic waste from the water and does not release anything in its place, so if is perfectly fine to use Purigen® in any type of aquarium and with any type of fish.  

Be aware that some types of aquarium logs and decorations leach tannins into the water that stain the water brown.  Tannins are an organic molecule, and therefore Purigen® will be capable of removing them from the water.  If this is an effect that you want in your aquarium, you will need to exclude Purigen® and other waste-absorbing medias like HyperSorb™ and activated filter carbon.
