Chemi-Pure Elite

I have been using chemi-pure elite in my biocube for about month now in conjunction with seachem’s purigen.  I basically emptied out the back of my biocube by getting rid of the sponges, the bioballs and the filter cartridge.  Now I am running 1 bag of purigen in the first chamber and 1 bag of chemi-pure elite in the 2nd chamber. 

I have to say that since I added the chemi-pure elite my water parameters have not fluctuated at all in the last month.  All my water tests are perfect and my water is crystal clear. 

It’s taken me almost a year of battling with nitrates, fluctuating pH levels and cloudy water but I think I have finally nailed down how to keep this nano tank running with good water parameters and clear water.  Chemi-pure elite cost me about 17 bucks from my LFS but it is supposed to last 6 months so buying 2 bags of this stuff a year is really not a bank breaker in my opinion.

 
Here are some of Chemi-Pure’s claims. So far I can’t argue with any of them.

LONGER LIFE – Fish often live three to four times longer than in any other closed system, fresh or marine.
NECESSARY ORGANISMS – Allowed growth with no danger of pollution.
REMOVES OFFENSIVE ODORS
REAL SEA WATER OR ARTIFICIAL
REMOVES TOXIC ELEMENTS – Including Copper & Phenol
IMMEDIATE ACCLIMATION – with ravenous appetite
QUICKER RESPONSES – Neurological reactions like fishes in natural habitat
FRESHWATER FISHES – of all species thrive
ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR AFRICAN CICHLIDS & DISCUS
NO WATER CHANGE NECESSARY – for at least 5 years (length of test only) PERHAPS NEVER!
CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER – Always sparkling blue-white water
NO CLEANING – Necessary for health of fish.
CONSTANT pH – Always within the safe range
NO OSMOTIC SHOCK – 90% eliminated
NO ION ANTAGONISM
ECONOMICAL – Replacement only every six to eight months makes initial cost very low – eliminates expensive water changes – fewer losses.
