Yes it can. I use it for my african cichlid aquarium. Keeps my water crystal clear.
Can Chemi-pure blue be used in freshwater?
Chemi-pure is a mixture of a high grade granulated carbon, mined in the USA, and ion exchange resins. Chemi-pure original is safe and effective for any type of aquatic environment, freshwater, marine, brackish, even planted and aquatic reptile enclosures benefit from the use of Chemi-pure.
How do you use elite Chemipure?
Directions: Keep Chemi-pure Elite sealed wet in container until ready for use. Rinse bag under running water for 5 to 10 seconds, place bags into a high flow area of your sump, canister filter, or HOB filter. Chemi-pure Elite should be replaced approximately every 2-4 months depending on bio-load.
What is the difference between Chemi-pure blue and elite?
Two different approaches to clean the water. Blue is phosphate resin, oranganic resin, high capacity carbon. Elite is GFO for phosphate, high grade carbon, and ion exchange resin for ionic balance. Elite is a more traditional approach.
What is chemi-pure used for?
Chemi-pure can be used with all water types as a chemical absorption filter, ion generator, and exchange unit to positively keep pH at a perfect and constant level. Chemi-pure is also fantastic for use with African cichlids and Discus!.
Does Chemi-Pure Elite work?
It has stayed crystal clear for almost one whole month. There are no detectable biological slime inside the tank. The regular carbons, Hydrokarbon and Matrix, seem to do a better job of removing tannins from the water. However, the Chemi-Pure Elite is superior when it comes to keeping the water clean and clear.
Does Chemi-Pure Elite remove nitrates?
Much like the all-in-one biopellets discussed above, Chemi-Pure Elite reduces algae growth by eliminating phosphates, nitrates, and silicates from the water column. In addition to being extremely easy to use, Chemi-Pure also lasts a long time, staying active for up to eight months.
What is Chemipure elite?
The benefits of using Chemipure Elite: Keeps pH stable and constant. Reduces fish loss due to pH changes or polluted water. Provides positive neurological reactions in fish, mimicking a natural environment.
How long does Chemi-Pure last?
Replacement is recommended every 2 to 4 months depending on bio-load.
Can I use Chemi-Pure Elite in planted aquarium?
Chemi-pure Green is the ultimate all-in-one filtration media for freshwater planted aquariums.

What does Chemipure Blue remove?
Chemi-pure Blue uses the finest laboratory grade resin technology to rapidly remove organics and phosphates from your aquarium water while raising redox and helping stabilize pH. Chemi-pure Blue lasts longer and reduces the need for frequent water changes.
Can you overdose Chemipure blue?
I used Chemipure in my freshwater tanks a long time ago but never in a saltwater tank. Too large a dose will probably strip 100% of some things like phosphates that you actually want small amounts of.
Is Chemipure blue Gfo?
Newly released from Boyd Enterprises is Chemi-Pure Blue. In addition to high-grade low-dust pelletized carbon, it also includes premium high-capacity ion-exchange resins (instead of GFO like in Chemi-Pure Elite). This resin mixture does a great job removing dissolved organics, phosphates and silicates.
Does Chemi-Pure Elite contain carbon?
Just like the Original, Chemi-Pure Elite contains both pelletized carbon and ion-exchange resins along with the addition of GFO (Granulated Ferric Oxide) to help remove additional phosphates. Elite is best used in aquariums with a medium bio-load or where phosphate levels tend to run high.
What do Biopellets do?
Biopellets are a biodegradable polymer that is made from bacteria. Biopellets provide an ideal environment for beneficial bacteria to thrive. By pumping water from your system into a biopellet reactor we are creating a controllable, food-filled house where bacteria can live and reproduce.
Does Chemi-Pure Elite have carbon?
By combining GFO (granular Ferric Oxide) with Boyd’s premium pelletized carbon and placing these inside of a fine-mesh nylon media bag, Chemi-Pure Elite delivers a convenient and effective way to polish your water of odors and toxins while rapidly removing phosphates and silicates that can lead to excess algae growth.
Does Chemipure reduce nitrates?
Yes! Chemi-Pure Elite can get rid of cloudy aquarium water by filtering out organic particulates, nitrates, phosphates and silicates. It does this quickly, usually within hours.
Can you put Chemi-pure in a reactor?
A major plus of chemi-pure is to run it in situations where one generally doesn’t have a reactor. It is great in sumps or filter socks or canisters though which would be why it comes in the bag. But use in the reactor does work.
How often do you change Chemi-pure?
We recommend changing out your Chemi-pure every 2 – 4 months depending on the bio-load of the aquarium.
Is Chemiclean reef safe?
It is completely safe for all fish, corals, invertebrates, and nitrifying bacteria in reef systems. It’s simple, quick and easy to use. Chemiclean works within 48 hours oxidizing trapped organic sludge and promotes an ideal enzyme balance. Chemiclean will clean stains from red cyanobacteria in aquariums.
Where do you put carbon in a sump?
carbon should be in a place where water has been pre filtered before contact otherwise it will be doing mechanical removal, not chemical and we all know that a sock, or a pad is MUCH better at removing excess fish food and other floaties than carbon is. Having carbon in contact with unfiltered water will tax it hard.
