Purigen beads loose in tank...

[Pat Niemeyer]

I am finding that tiny Purigen beads escape from its little sealed packet and into my tank... I rinsed it and noticed a few beads, but thought I must have just worked a few out with my washing... I have also tried double nylon bagging some loose Purigen... but I am still seeing what I believe is tiny tiny beads of Purigen clouding my tank.

I am very concerned about what happens when my coral and animals try to eat this stuff... Will it clear up on its own? Do any damage? Does anybody have any experience with this?
