Chemi Pure & Activated Carbon
- Thread starter bayoupr
- Start date
Carbon will adsorb many organics, and some metals, especially copper, will bind to organics and be removed. I think most vitamins will bind to carbon, as will amino acids, but there's no evidence that carbon will cause any problems unless you're dosing amino acids. I don't know of much evidence that vitamins are very useful in a tank, though.

That makes about as much sense as you using a push lawn-mower as you spill gas on the garage floor when filling gas lawn-mower
Damn. I do that too. Maybe I should look into getting a landscaper. lol
Ok Boomer couple of questions differense between ChemiPure Elite and plain Chemipure-better the same ? better choice? Pura products same? different? Etc Best carbon/bag product to use? Ive been useing either ChemiElite or Pura complete and run PURA pad on overflow/egg crate Im learning and your help is appreciated emmensley I think the hook we all bite on is put it in and change every six months. Im not drinking the koolaid anymore.
Chemi pure elite cotains granulated activated carbon , di resin and some granulated ferric oxide for phosphate binding. The plain chemi pure has no gfo in it.
Black diamond should be fine. Many use it. I've not tried it. I like rox8 from Bulk Reef Supply.

Pura complete is almost the same thing as ChemiPure Elite only has a slightly better GFO so of the two Pura is better. Ion exchange resins, which both have, just do not work in seawater. You can do better by making your own
There is a substantial difference between ROX and Blackdiamond, ROX is far superior. And anybody that has used the two will tell you so. You can also see this by looking at their GAC data sheet. ROX has about 1.75 times the adsorption capacity.

I used it in a media bag in my cube.

No, there is only one kind of ROX that BRS sells. Norit does make another ROX called ROX 0.8 Supra or ROW 0.8 Supra. You will have to sell your house to afford that stuff.
