    Am I better off just going with carbon from BRS the 0.8 stuff in a reactor or a poly pad, purigen etc?
    Does purigen really last as long as they say and is the bleaching really renew it ?

    i would just stick with regular Carbon, its been used over and over by a lot of people and they dont have issues. I dont know enough about purigen to say if its good or not, but those saying it causes bleaching is enough to make me leery of it.
