I'm wondering if I could add a small bag of Chemipure Elite to the return area of my Reef Octopus BH-1000? At the moment there's a bubble plate and a sponge.
What say you all?

To my knowledge chemipure is supposed to be at a mild tumble.. are you going to use a media bag?

ChemiPure Elite has Ferric Iron Oxide. Very handy when using a reactor isn't an option.

Be very carefull with chemipure, rinse very well then make sure not to put too much flow through it.. Too much turbulence and it will break down and turn your water black...

Trust me on this one... LOL
