Answer :

Hi Antony,

Thanks for the quick response! Purigen is really that
good! It will assist in lowering your nitrates by
specifically removing organic wastes that will become
toxic if left alone. 100mL will be more than enough for
your aquariums and it will not be necessary to use more
than that. However, it is important that you continue to
use the Purigen as a chemical filtration, even after you
have lowered your nitrates. This will continue to help
you control your nitrites and nitrates in your aquarium.
Water changes should be done on a regular basis as it
enhances the water quality and also helps to control
build-up of any toxic chemicals that may arise in your
tank. Good aquarium maintenance is an important aspect of
aquarium keeping in order for you to be successful. Prime
is just converting your nitrites, nitrates, and ammonia to
a non-toxic form that will not harm your fish and will not
damage the nitrogen cycle. We also have a product called
Stability that assists in establishing your biological
filter (Matrix). These products go hand in hand with one
another because Stability is providing aerobic, anaerobic,
and facultative bacteria that is omnipresent in the
environment and is facilitating in the breakdown of waste
organics such as nitrites, nitrates, and ammonia. The
Matrix is providing internal and external surface area for
these bacteria to live. For more info on Stability follow
the link below:

For further clarification:
1. Purigen will help to control your nitrates by removing
organic waste.
2. 100mL will be more than enough for both of your
aquariums. Using more Purigen will not "lower" nitrates,
only help to control them.
3. You should use Purigen at all times.
4. You should do water changes as you usually would, on a
regular basis is recommended.
5. Prime just renders nitrates non-toxic and does not
damage the nitrogen cycle.

I hope this was helpful and let us know if we can be of
any further assistance!
