Seachem Purigen is a tool that every hobbyist, both beginner and advanced, should have in their aquatic tool kit. It is a scientifically formulated premium synthetic adsorbent that is not a mixture of ion exchangers or adsorbents, but a unique macro-porous synthetic polymer that removes soluble and insoluble impurities from both freshwater and saltwater at a rate and capacity that exceeds all other competitive products by over 500%.
The formula helps to control ammonia, nitrites and nitrates by removing nitrogenous organic waste that would build up and release harmful chemicals into your aquarium water column, negatively impacting all aquatic life within the aquarium. Though Purigen's impact on beneficial trace elements is minimal, it significantly raises redox and polishes water with unparalleled clarity.
Seachem Purigen's ability to clear haziness and polish water is unparalleled in the market today. Unlike other available competitive products which are just basic ion-exchange resins, this solution is specifically designed to be an organic scavenging resin and generally ignores simple elemental compounds, having an extreme affinity for nitrogenous organics. Nitrogenous compounds come from aquarium waste produced by fish, coral, as well as plants. The Purigen beads are uniquely spherical and macro-reticular in shape and the increased surface area provides an enhanced capacity with microscopic pores that increase its usable surface area to many times that of other products on the market, which are made of purely spherical resin. The versatile product can be used in a wide variety of filtration applications such as in a canister filter, media chamber, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter.
To add to the already incredibly functionality of this product, Purigen can actually be regenerated to retain efficiency and effectiveness in the long term. As it adsorbs waste products, the beads will change colour from a pale blonde to a dark brown, nearly black coloration. Once it is exhausted, it can be regenerated with a solution of bleach and water. The bleach will literally "burn off" the organics that have been removed from the tank. Watch out for products that claim to be regenerable with a brine solution. That is the regeneration procedure for ion-exchange purposes. Brine solutions will not remove necessary harmful organics. While such resins have a limited capacity for organic adsorption, a brine regeneration process only replaces removed ionic compounds and it does not destroy large organic molecules that were removed, which is the primary function of organic adsorption resins in the first place.
The 250 ml container of Seachem Flourish Advance is a natural phytohormone supplement for sensitive planted aquariums, packed with beneficial minerals and nutrients that are necessary to regulate and enhance explosive and eye-popping plant growth.
This growth enhancer boosts mineral absorption allowing your plants to battle harsher diseases and dramatically stimulate the growth of roots and shoots. Phytohormones are naturally occurring compounds that are essential in regulating developmental processes such as cell division, formation and the activity of shoot meristems, induction of photosynthesis gene expression, leaf senescence, nutrient mobilization, seed germination, root growth and stress response. All of these processes contribute to healthy, long lasting aquatic plants. For the best results, Seachem Flourish Advance should be used on a regular basis to ensure that plants are properly absorbing the wide variety essential nutrients inside of the aquarium. After approximately 10-14 days of steady use, root growth will begin beneath the surface of the substrate, followed by significantly enhanced development on both leaves and stems. It is completely safe for fish and invertebrates.
This Seapora Standard Aquarium is made with the highest quality materials available. From thicker glass, high-quality silicone, to an injection molded frame, Seapora Aquariums are top-notch. With this in mind, Seapora Aquariums are the least returned aquariums due to warranty claims for leaks or cracks!

Marimo, more commonly known as moss balls, make a fun addition to your indoor garden and are a popular feature in aquariums. These aquatic plants are also relatively easy to care for once you know the basics.
Light
The good news is, marimo balls do not need a lot of light to thrive. "They don't need to be in bright sun since they naturally grow at the bottom of the lakes," says Steinkopf. "They prefer a lower light situation." The algae do not like direct sun and should not be placed near a window, as marimo can quickly turn brown if they are getting too much direct light. Keeping them out of direct sunlight and giving them plenty of low, indirect light should keep them happy.
Water
Moss balls are aquatic plants, so they must live submerged in cool water, preferably under 77°F. These plants aren't too picky about the type of water; it just has to be freshwater. "I use my tap water, but well water, distilled water, or rainwater would be fine as well," says Steinkopf. For best results, change the water every two weeks and allow the water to sit out for a day beforehand, so chlorine has a chance to evaporate. Also, clean the container with a brush if algae start to grow on the surface.
Fertilizer
Marimo does not require supplemental fertilizer! These amazing plants make their food through photosynthesis and do not need a nutrient boost to keep them thriving. They are slow-growing, so don't expect them to outgrow their tanks within a year. The plants grow up to 5 millimeters per year and will eventually reach 2 to 5 inches in containers or 8 to 12 inches in natural conditions.
