Good point about being able to recharge. However, the time it takes and the potential risk of nuking the tank by using too much bleach to save $7-8 every 3-4 mos or so doesn't seem worth it to me. I just stock up when Marine Depot or any other online retailers have them on sale
Lol yeah I havent tried recharging it yet since I only have a 20g and 9g that it is used in. Bought the 250ml container for like $15 shipped on ebay, so I replaced instead of recharging.
May I ask how long you need to replace a new bag ? I have 30gal and I also have been using Purigen fo 9 months. I replace it every 2 months. I really don't know it is too long or too short of time. Your input is highly appreciated.
I would assume every tank would be different depending on how much excess nutrients the purigen is removing. Once it starts getting a little darker is when I change mine. I think I change mine roughly every 6 months
I used it in "the bag" and recharged it many times. I hate "the bag" because I had several burst at the seams and spill the tiny dots everywhere. I didn't have a problem with recharging and using Prime to remove the bleach. I ended up throwing it all away after several bags ruptured and I found it to be a pain in the rear to deal with.
