I've been using prime for a few years and have been quite happy with it, especially with how long it lasts. Other conditioners I tried were a lot more diluted. I haven't tried the purigen yet but its on my bucket list 😁
Love your videos have been watching for past month getting inspiration & knowledge for my first aquascape that was just started 4 days ago! I think I need the Seachem Matrix, Stability & Purigen right away. Thank you for the introduction to the Seachem line of products!
I have a huge forested area and a lake next to my home, which I can see from my window. It's lovely. That's where I contemplate and think. I love Seachem's products. Matrix and Purigen are in all my filters. Fun "pro-tip": if you're running a blackwater tank, Seachem Hypersorb does the same thing as Purigen, except it leaves the tannins in. Purigen is the newer version of Hypersorb!
I live in British Columbia and spend a lot of time outside in nature and its so sad how much garbage youll find. Places that you think there is no way trash could make it there, but it does. The Vancouver Aquarium has a tank that resembles the local waters and they deliberately put trash in the tank, like bottles and cans, to educate about how trash has become sorta the norm in our waters and how the sea life adapts to it, either using it as homes or growing in it. Im always picking up trash I see on the trails, thanks for doing the same!
Love all those products, and are the core Seachem products that I use in my regular regimen. Purigen is by far, the biggest game-changer of the bunch indeed. When I inherited my first tank from a friend (75g monster cichlid tank), it was poorly maintained and I ran with the false assumption he was trying to mimic an Amazonian biotope and that was why the the water was always so cloudy with shades of green/brown/yellow. After researching and testing (as we all do in the hobby, especially early on), I learned the tank I was given was just so poorly neglected. Purigen was what sealed the deal on finally making that tank crystal clear, and what made me fall in love with my tank - seeing it at its true potential. Keeping two bags on hand as you suggested is definitely the way to go, as there’s usually 48 hours of downtime to recharge and dechlorinate. As always, love your content and your practical advice and wisdom. Thanks Jurijs!
Your videos inspired me a lot and I'm proud to announce I started my very first 35l tank last night. Thanks for sharing your experience and tips with us. Top quality content. Cheers !
I am about to start a 300L and intend on using both Matrix and Purigen. I have not used these products yet, but my vote goes to Purigen because it sounds like magic!
I use Seachem Purigen for a while now in all of my aquariums. Fantastic results. I love the absolut clear water. I'm glad to see you back on RUclips :o)
Great video Jurijs! I'm using Seachem Purigen, Flourish Excel and Stability. All outstanding products and economically to use. I have plans to use Seachem Matrix in the near future.
I haved loved the past couple of your videos, especially the one with your 5 favorite Seachem products. It's hard to beat their quality and all around selection. You are my favorite aquascaping guy by far! Sending some love from over here in the States! Take Care!
I have been using seachem prime for my pico tanks/planted vases, but literally ALL the others are on my shopping list for my first 60cm scape. Which is actually inspired by my favourite childhood “playground” - a mountain forest stream, very similar place to the video, near where I grew up in southern Bavaria. Been in the UK now for 20 years and quite homesick. Would love to try the fertiliser too. Thanks for another great video!
I use all of the products. In fact I trust very much in Seachem.. I normaly use Stability when i start a aquairum and when I do a filter cleaning . And zero problems until now. Purigen looks like magic..Thank for the review. greetings from Portugal.
I've used prime, purigen and stability. Everything works great. I've been wanting to get some matrix to replace the ceramic media in my filter. I love your videos. They have a lot of great information and give great inspiration. Keep them coming!
I only use three out of those five products you named. Although, the guys at Green Aqua really got me considering using Matrix. I use Prime, since I don't have access to RO water. Love it. I use Purigen because I was experimenting before with a blackwater tank and wanted to see what it looked like completely clear lol but now use it in my planted tank to help with the waste organics... and finally, I use Excel when needed. It works really well, surprisingly. I really only get algae on my hardscape, so when I do it helps me get things back together. Great video, I never considered taking gravel from the wild LOL I think I will check in to that, Iive near the woods and a big river so I will see.
I only used Seachem Matrix since I started my aquascaping journey because of your recommendation, Jurijs, in one of your videos:) I dont have anything else to compare it with, so thank you for saving me "the learning curve". I have not used Purigen yet, but will give it a try in my new tank. I love your videos - great education, useful content, and fun:) Your passion for nature is inspiring! I love and learn from nature so much! my pride and joy are my platinum veil tail angelfish, they are breeding and I am happy to call myself " the mother of angels":) Again, thank you very much for your passion and all knowledge you share!
Just this week I’ve used Seachem products to start up my new Fluval Flex 57l. Upgraded filtration with Matrix, and also used Prime and Stability. Only plants for now, until I’m confident the tank is well cycled. So far the water testing shows suspiciously perfect results, except I’d like to raise KH a bit without messing up current pH 6.5. Not sure how to do that. Planning to keep a few Amano or Bloody Marry shrimp and T. espei rasboras Having a little piece of nature in your living room is ... well... it brings back memories from my hiking trips. Hiking and exploring nature is what inspired me to get into aquarium hobby in the first place. Now I can’t pass a stream or a pond without spotting various different types of plants
I am new to the hobby and absolutely love it. I haven’t tried any of seachems products yet, but it seems like they have a lot of high end stuff. Thank you for making all these videos. I can’t believe how much I have learned from you and other channels. You are my biggest inspiration, but I also like to look in the nature. Can’t wait to scape my first ever aquascape🤪
This was a nice way to improve on a typical product promotion. I use all the Seachem products you mention. Purigen is a great one, I'm a brand new aquarist only had my tank for a few months. My water is completely transparent with Purigen!
I use Seachem Prime to pre-conditioned new tap water for weekly water changes; Seachem Excel a a lesser dosing than prescribed to control algae, Seachem Flourish twice weekly; Seachem Flourish Root tabs every 3 moths depending on the plant's needs; Seachem Trace twice weekly; Seachem Iron as needed; Seachem Stability during new tank cycling, though I use it daily until the water parameters show me the tank is fully cycled, then once monthly. I really enjoyed this video. What a beautiful place to be able to visit! Thank you for picking up the trash. You don't have to pick me to win as I live in the US. Good luck everyone! (Oh, I forgot that I do use Seachem Purigen sometimes. Crystal clear water!)
Great video Jurijs. I live close to Sintra so many magical places like that close to your home. When we need inspiration nothing beats nature! About Seachem products, they are all great stuff, i use excel, prime and ferts with great results. Hope see you again soon. Cheers
Great video. Im using the Seachem products for quite a short time now and from my perspective i think that Seachem has the top notch products. Matrix - Best biological filter media, Purigen just Magic recommend it!, Prime, Flourish, Stability really great products! Im really happy with all the products. I like these type of videos of the beatiful nature. Please continue with your videos they are amazing!
Where I live there aren't many aquascaping products, the Seachem range is the most readily available. I use Matrix, Excel, and believe it or not I use their flourite sand and substrate. I know people have issues with the water clarity but I just give it a really good pre-wash and after a few water changes the tank is clear.
Hi Jurijs! Great attitude in the end 🙏 I only use Excel once for BBA and I just haven't tried Stability yet but I'm about to buy it for the Rescape that's already in progress. The rest of the products I use in all my aquariums! 💯 👍I would also love to try their fertilization but I have not yet been able to buy it.Just to try separate nutrients instead of 'all in one'.. That offer sounds like a treat for me 😝 Am I lucky this time? Ehehe 😉 Oh I also watch this video on my TV and the quality is great!
I've never used their products but I've heard great things about their filter media. Will try it once current stock is out. Getting outside and seeing what nature does really is great. Would love to see you show us more of your country!
Everyone here I read used these product or has a place to visit for inspiration. But I live in an urban place where these products are not easily avalible and afordable. Even tho with these conditions you are the one inspired and informed me abot the hobby. Thank you.
I always use prime to treat my tapwater and stability for new tanks and after cleaning my filters. Absolutely agree about people leaving rubbish lying around. One of my pet hates.
I used Seachem Matrix and Purigen for my geophagus and satanaperca tank 10 years ago. And Flourish and Excel for my planted tank. Loved these products alot! Now I have a nano cube with plants, would be great to try other Seachem ferts if I win. My inspiration and fascination about nature started in childhood from the river Ogre in Latvia. I observed both high stony banks of the river as well as the sandy bottom with roots and strong current when snorkeled with mask! Nowedays I come to that river also, several times a year.
I had a lot of issues with algae in the past in my tank. Tried out many products for fighting algae, but non of them except Seachem Excel helped. Moreover I´ve heard lots of good things about Seachem Purigen from different sources. I would love to try it out in combination with Seachem Matrix and Seachem Stability, when I´ll start up my new tank in a few weeks. I got all my inspiration for the layout from Instagram and RUclips. By the way, your videos had a huge positive impact on my knowledge too ; ) Keep it up : D
I’m using Purigen in all my tanks for christal clear water. In a few weeks I’ll start my new 60P and 120P inspired on your and greenaqua channel. The products will be perfect to start my aquascapes. Love your videos.
Jurijs, congratulations on doing this deal with Seachem. They are a great company and I don't think I could ever do an aquarium without Prime, Matrix, and Purigen. Excellent products. I hope that you can do another video with a new aquarium to show beginners how to use these products.
Hi jurijs. First of all thanks for cleaning up the mess, wish everyone would do so! I am using matrix and purigen myself and both products are pretty good in my opinion. Best thing is that you Can refresh the purigen over and over again so it stays pretty effective for a really Long time. Thumps up for this overview. Keep on scaping
Hi Jurijs!!!, as always great video, I agree with you, the products of Seachem that you are showing are very useful, I use Matrix in my filter, plus purigen I usually change purigen every 3 weeks and use prime in the water changes, so far it has gone quite well. Keep on with your videos
The beginning was like a seminar when you had talked about the moss on roots. It never occurred to me to pay attention to that detail, so I am really glad you talked about that. I am also stunned by the Oak-Sneak tree, what a beauty! Thank you for sharing that with us. Regarding Seachem products, we have absolutely the same taste. However, I would like to mention that Flourish Excel is not just for addressing algae issues, at all. It is the only one that helps plants to take up various forms of Iron (Fe). In addition to that Excel has its effect last for 24 hours, while most other products last 6 hours or less. Another of their products is for livestock of the tank Seachem Nourish. I highly recommend that you give it a try, Jurijs.
Hi!Juris...i started using Seachem products since the beginning of my aquascaping journey and i'm so much in love with product line Seachem offers that i don't feel like switching to any other alternative brands .
I love using prime, definitely my go to conditioner, also I just found your channel and have been binge watching all day haha. Keep up the great work! Love your videos!
I really like Seachem Flourish Advance. It really helps with getting plants started as it allows for root and shoot growth. Really love your work man, coming all the way from Barbados in the Caribbean. We don't get many products too often, but when they're available, I make sure and buy some.
I use matrix, purigen, and prime. I also used stability when first cycling my tank. All great and proven products. Thanks for the video and for picking up the trash, I do the same thing when visiting parks and other beautiful areas. Leave only footprints!
I’m starting up my first aquascape and have already purchased Purigen and the Matrix biomedia to put into my new canister filter! I’m currently pulling inspiration from the beautiful beaches of the Pacific North West.
I have never used any fertilizers or any products in my tanks, I have well water and I have been very fortunate with good water, but over the years my plants just don’t thrive and I’m starting to get Algae, so I have been reading great reviews on Seachem products and I’m ready to try them all😊
Very fresh and nice idea for recommending product in the nature, you are genius. make me have very strong urge want to get those product. I believed many will use your idea as inspiration for future video.Great work bro, you always think out of the box.
I was thinking about using matrix but haven’t bought it yet. I wasn’t too sure about purgier but seeing more and more people recommending it I might wanna give it a try.
I have been using Matrix, Purigen and Prime/Safe for a long time now. However I have never used their ferts. And also good job taking some rubbish away everyone should do this 💚
Hi Jurijs, i use it all except the Prime. A few weeks ago i bought PREMIER of aquavitro, because I read some comments that it would be a little better than STABILITY. Do you agree? I would buy too all line of fertilizer of seachem, because i have a good tap water, so i need to fertilize my tank indivual, and i think Seachem line it´s a good option.
I also am big on Seachem Matrix, and have recently begun looking into their other products. Still on my first tank, only two months in and I am loving it! I've learned a lot and been inspired by your and MD Fish Tanks videos. I also get a lot of inspo from following the aquascaping and wabikusa tags on insta.
Like a two months ago I started this Aquascaping journey and now in my head goes just plants care, co2 level, water quality, shrimp (have 5 amano shrimps btw), canister filter (oase biomaster 350t it's on the way btw, bought it from vattenliv.se here in Sweden, and so on. It's just Aquascaping in my head. Have a 96L tank which was fully cycled until without knowledge I killed all the bacts. No2 and KH levels still today high levels. So Seachem Matrix and Purigen are the best combo I can find nowdays. I started in thus thanks to you and Greenaqua crew.
@@JurijsJutjajevs Hi. Well right now ... High levels of Nitrite no matter of 50% water change 2x week. High levels of KH even after I dosed 48ml (96l tank) of Tetra Safe Start. I realised I did a disaster after I introduced 3 Rosen tetra, 5 Neon tetra and 5 Amano shrimp at the same time. Pls don't cringe! 😅😅
Great Video! Love the Seachem Products! Use the Prime all the time! The stream is very peaceful and beautiful! Some people just don't care by leaving garbage. Terrible! Thank you for sharing Jurijs!
I have Seachem Matrix in three of my aquariums and when I put it in I saw a massive change in my water quality. It got so clear! That was my only change so I know it's Matrix doing. I would be very happy to try out all the other Seachem product because they are hard to find here in Sweden and maybe I can spread the word in the fish community about Seachem so more resellers could distribute it! 🤗 I love you're videos Jurijs they are so beutiful to watch like a piece of art and mindfulness all into one! ❤ Have a wonderful weekend!
1. Seachem Prime is just amazing. You need small amounts of it and it lasts very long time. 2. Seachem matrix is pretty much standard nowadays, wouldnt think using anything else for biological filtration. 3. Flourish is also very good, small amounts needed, saves you tons of money for micro ferts and does great job. Actually does better job then most of branded ferts I tried before. I would like to try Purigen as I heard it is actually better than similar products and I use something similar with amazing results, so i would really like to see Purigen in action and compare results. I have used quite a few of their products but these three I would recommend without problem because i use them for almost 2 years now and per my opinion they are great products. For other products I need more time to test them so I could recommend them to anybody. P.S. There is no better inspiration than nature but sometimes i catch myself observing everything in nature through aquascaping ;)
I special order Seachem Purigen for my Mbuna tank. You cant count on plants and stuff to make the water clean if you have only rocks and woods. But the Purigen lets me have a safe feeling and clear water!!
i liked to use excel against bba. currently put it in my fert solutions to ward off mold. using prime since a year ago, when water company started to put more chlorine in the mains. relatedly, when did seachem eliminate slime coating protection in prime? i would like to try purigen.
Thanks for the education and insight. I have used all those products except Purigen. The recharging sounds like a good option. Thanks for the tip on using Prime after recharging the Purigen. As for nature and hiking, I also agree it is a pleasure. We do a good amount for Scouting and also teach the "Leave no Trace Principles." I'd hate to think there could be a time with no nature to emulate in aquaplaning or hand down to another generation. Thanks again, Jim
Hey Jim, I think kids who spend time with parents in nature learn not leave garbage in nature. Unfortunately I see more and more kids growing up in concrete only focused on the display of their phones.. I used to play outside in nature when I grew up, so for me its second nature to not leave my garbage outside
Hi Jurijs Many thanks for your hard work on the chanel and keeping absolutely TOP QUALITY all the time. Great job!!! In regards to trash - no comment! I guess this is the education which is missing in some people heads. I am so happy that you mention so many interesting places in Europe which runs the Nature Aquariums. Greetings from Switzerland.
Seachem Equilibrium, Matrix and Purigen are the products I use pretty much always but I'm also using Flourish tabs from time to time. There are other products I'm using from time to time such as Stress Guard and ParaGuard. Their Tropical Nutridiet is pretty good as well. Currently I'm trying to get my hands on Safe but for some reason no one seems to sell it here. Maybe because you get much more bang for the buck with it than with Prime?
Love your content bro. It would be wonderful if you could make a video about RO water in detail. Like how it is used in planted aquarium, which additives to add to achieve which level of TDS/GH/KH etc. Keep up the good work
I personally love using Seachem, Matrix, Purigen, Iron and EXCEL products. Is seachem purigen really effective when it is regenerated? Then for Seachem Excel, I don't think it's very effective for removing Cladophora Algae. I've tried it and only Cladophora Algae can't be lost from the tank
I love Seachem, I use Seachem Flourish Advance, Seachem Flourish Iron, Seachem Flourish Potassium, Seachem Matrix, Seachem Purigen and Seachem Prime. I can not be more satisfied with the results, all my plants have vibrant colors and the quality levels of the water can not be better.
Other than Seachem prime, Seachem flourish excel is a must have. I can't even count the amount of times this single product has saved my tank from algae and at the same time helped plants grow fast and keep them healthy. Highly recommend it.
In India we usually get it in high price, all though it's a very good product and I use it few time. But I have mixed results for controlling on algae (by spot treating method) by Sachem flourish excel. I recommend Hydrogen peroxide rather then Sachem Flourish Excel for treating Algae issue. Other products are very good. Enjoy the Helloween. Take care.
Hi Jurijs! My favorite Seachem product is the Seachem Matrix, but also the Purigen as well. I noticed that they were excisting by Green Aqua, in their filtration Tutorial ;-). It was amazing to see how the Purigen cleared the water so fast and efficienct! I would like to try the other products for my new 120p Aquascape in the living room 👌🥰👌 I love your videos, they are made so well and interesting that I watch them every single day, no matter if I have time 🤣 Stay Calm and as you are!!!! 👻
I use seachem matrix and seachem excel.... the motivation to use these products...I got from your friendly studio Green Aqua...and yeah I agree u guys are promoting really useful products...
I use Seachem Prime, because of all tapwater conditioners on Aquasabi it it has the best price/liter of aquarium water. For 200l of tapwater i need only 5ml of Seachem Prime. I use it because my tapwater contains copper, witch is harmfull for snails. Prime binds/filters it safely, after adding it i measure 0,0mg/l Cu.
I love Purigen and matrix. I have used both of those products in saltwater and freshwater. I am going to use matrix in purigen in my oase biomaster 600 thermo. I am also going to use seachem equilibrium with my RO water. Do you use equilibrium with your RO water? I get motivation from landscapes of large hillside farm pastures with trees. I don’t know why I am so drawn towards this type of landscape.
Love from Australia. I have been aquascaping cor about 2 years now. I used seachem prime, iron, flourish, excel. I would love to experience the difference between my current filter media vs matrix and purigen. Amazing content! Love the videos. I have a few special spots in Far Northern Queensland Australia to draw inspiration from. Guy
My favorite product is Seachem Prime, it takes a lot of the worry out of water changes. Very interested in Purigen and Matrix since I just bought a canister filter. Does Purigen draw any ferts from the water?
I'd like to try the Seachem fertilizers or the Seachem Prime ! I use them all, except the fertilizers in caps or the Seachem Prime. And, I will keep using them cause they work good for my planted aquarium. Excellent video buddy!!!
Prime is fantastic value for money, and an essential part of my regime, purigen is very effective at removing tannins, a nice to have, especially for newly introduced wood
Purigen is like magic!!! from murky and yellow to clean and clear!! love that it can get regenerated so easily! I also use Seachem Safe the dry concentrated form of Prime which i also use on my water =) Thanks for the awesome videos keep it up!!
I've been using prime for a few years and have been quite happy with it, especially with how long it lasts. Other conditioners I tried were a lot more diluted. I haven't tried the purigen yet but its on my bucket list 😁
Love your videos have been watching for past month getting inspiration & knowledge for my first aquascape that was just started 4 days ago! I think I need the Seachem Matrix, Stability & Purigen right away. Thank you for the introduction to the Seachem line of products!

Seachem Purigen is fantastic.
I live in Scotland so we have fantastic scenery. I have an aquarium based on an area in Scotland called the Cairngorms.
One of the most relaxing review I've ever seen. Thank you!
I live in British Columbia and spend a lot of time outside in nature and its so sad how much garbage youll find. Places that you think there is no way trash could make it there, but it does. The Vancouver Aquarium has a tank that resembles the local waters and they deliberately put trash in the tank, like bottles and cans, to educate about how trash has become sorta the norm in our waters and how the sea life adapts to it, either using it as homes or growing in it.

Huge fan of SeaChem Clarity as well! Incredible stuff. 👌🏻
Your videos inspired me a lot and I'm proud to announce I started my very first 35l tank last night. Thanks for sharing your experience and tips with us. Top quality content. Cheers !
thanks mate, glad I've inspired you
I am about to start a 300L and intend on using both Matrix and Purigen. I have not used these products yet, but my vote goes to Purigen because it sounds like magic!
Excel has worked really well for me in my smaller tank. Even boosting the growth of some of my smaller plants! Love your videos man
I use Seachem Purigen for a while now in all of my aquariums. Fantastic results. I love the absolut clear water. I'm glad to see you back on RUclips :o)
Great video Jurijs!
I'm using Seachem Purigen, Flourish Excel and Stability. All outstanding products and economically to use. I have plans to use Seachem Matrix in the near future.

This was a nice way to improve on a typical product promotion. I use all the Seachem products you mention. Purigen is a great one, I'm a brand new aquarist only had my tank for a few months. My water is completely transparent with Purigen!
Nice chilled video and a gorgeous spot👍I use Seachem Stability to help with cycling, amazing product.
Very inspirational as usual thankyou😁👍
I was stationed at Smith Barracks in Baumholder back in 2006-08. I really miss all the outdoors of that area, so nice and peaceful.
I love your enthusiasm for nature. It's what got me into the hobby; having a slice of nature in our home.
I use Seachem Excel a lot. This has helped me to maintain my 70L Anubias tank nice and clean from algae. Great stuff.
I use Seachem Prime to pre-conditioned new tap water for weekly water changes; Seachem Excel a a lesser dosing than prescribed to control algae, Seachem Flourish twice weekly; Seachem Flourish Root tabs every 3 moths depending on the plant's needs; Seachem Trace twice weekly; Seachem Iron as needed; Seachem Stability during new tank cycling, though I use it daily until the water parameters show me the tank is fully cycled, then once monthly.

The rest of the products I use in all my aquariums! 💯 👍I would also love to try their fertilization but I have not yet been able to buy it.Just to try separate nutrients instead of 'all in one'.. That offer sounds like a treat for me 😝 Am I lucky this time? Ehehe 😉 Oh I also watch this video on my TV and the quality is great!
I've never used their products but I've heard great things about their filter media. Will try it once current stock is out.
Getting outside and seeing what nature does really is great. Would love to see you show us more of your country!
Everyone here I read used these product or has a place to visit for inspiration. But I live in an urban place where these products are not easily avalible and afordable. Even tho with these conditions you are the one inspired and informed me abot the hobby.
Thank you.
I always use prime to treat my tapwater and stability for new tanks and after cleaning my filters. Absolutely agree about people leaving rubbish lying around. One of my pet hates.
I used Seachem Matrix and Purigen for my geophagus and satanaperca tank 10 years ago. And Flourish and Excel for my planted tank. Loved these products alot! Now I have a nano cube with plants, would be great to try other Seachem ferts if I win. My inspiration and fascination about nature started in childhood from the river Ogre in Latvia. I observed both high stony banks of the river as well as the sandy bottom with roots and strong current when snorkeled with mask! Nowedays I come to that river also, several times a year.
I use quite a few of these. Matrix, Purigen, Stability and Prime. I previously used Fluval products but pretty happy with the Seachem products.
I had a lot of issues with algae in the past in my tank. Tried out many products for fighting algae, but non of them except Seachem Excel helped. Moreover I´ve heard lots of good things about Seachem Purigen from different sources. I would love to try it out in combination with Seachem Matrix and Seachem Stability, when I´ll start up my new tank in a few weeks.
I got all my inspiration for the layout from Instagram and RUclips. By the way, your videos had a huge positive impact on my knowledge too ; )
Keep it up : D
You could try H2O2 to battle algae. It completely destroyed all hair and staghorn algae in my aquarium.
@@AquascapingGreatness Thanks for the advice, I think I'll try it out next time.👍🏼
I’m using Purigen in all my tanks for christal clear water.
In a few weeks I’ll start my new 60P and 120P inspired on your and greenaqua channel.
The products will be perfect to start my aquascapes.
Love your videos.
Jurijs, congratulations on doing this deal with Seachem. They are a great company and I don't think I could ever do an aquarium without Prime, Matrix, and Purigen. Excellent products. I hope that you can do another video with a new aquarium to show beginners how to use these products.
thanks Zack, will do ;)
Hi jurijs. First of all thanks for cleaning up the mess, wish everyone would do so!
I am using matrix and purigen myself and both products are pretty good in my opinion. Best thing is that you Can refresh the purigen over and over again so it stays pretty effective for a really Long time. Thumps up for this overview. Keep on scaping
Hi Jurijs!!!, as always great video, I agree with you, the products of Seachem that you are showing are very useful, I use Matrix in my filter, plus purigen I usually change purigen every 3 weeks and use prime in the water changes, so far it has gone quite well. Keep on with your videos
The beginning was like a seminar when you had talked about the moss on roots. It never occurred to me to pay attention to that detail, so I am really glad you talked about that. I am also stunned by the Oak-Sneak tree, what a beauty! Thank you for sharing that with us. Regarding Seachem products, we have absolutely the same taste. However, I would like to mention that Flourish Excel is not just for addressing algae issues, at all. It is the only one that helps plants to take up various forms of Iron (Fe). In addition to that Excel has its effect last for 24 hours, while most other products last 6 hours or less. Another of their products is for livestock of the tank Seachem Nourish. I highly recommend that you give it a try, Jurijs.
that nutrient uptake thing sounds interesting, I will dig deeper into it
Hi!Juris...i started using Seachem products since the beginning of my aquascaping journey and i'm so much in love with product line Seachem offers that i don't feel like switching to any other alternative brands .
I love using prime, definitely my go to conditioner, also I just found your channel and have been binge watching all day haha. Keep up the great work! Love your videos!
I really like Seachem Flourish Advance. It really helps with getting plants started as it allows for root and shoot growth.
Really love your work man, coming all the way from Barbados in the Caribbean.
We don't get many products too often, but when they're available, I make sure and buy some.
Oh thats so cool to have viewers from all around the world, I wish to travel to Caribbean one day
I use matrix, purigen, and prime. I also used stability when first cycling my tank. All great and proven products. Thanks for the video and for picking up the trash, I do the same thing when visiting parks and other beautiful areas. Leave only footprints!
I love Seachem products. I currently use Seachem Excel and Replenish. Have a lovely day ! 💚
Aloha from Hawai’i! Purigen and Matrix are making my nano canister filter perform like it has 10x more power and volume!
I’m starting up my first aquascape and have already purchased Purigen and the Matrix biomedia to put into my new canister filter! I’m currently pulling inspiration from the beautiful beaches of the Pacific North West.
I use the seachem prime and stability all the time. Also the Ecel. is great for spot treating alge. Good video.
I have never used any fertilizers or any products in my tanks, I have well water and I have been very fortunate with good water, but over the years my plants just don’t thrive and I’m starting to get Algae, so I have been reading great reviews on Seachem products and I’m ready to try them all😊
Tap water vary a lot in different areas and over the year. Also it can change over the years
Very fresh and nice idea for recommending product in the nature, you are genius. make me have very strong urge want to get those product. I believed many will use your idea as inspiration for future video.Great work bro, you always think out of the box.
I was thinking about using matrix but haven’t bought it yet. I wasn’t too sure about purgier but seeing more and more people recommending it I might wanna give it a try.
I have been using Matrix, Purigen and Prime/Safe for a long time now. However I have never used their ferts. And also good job taking some rubbish away everyone should do this 💚
Just setup a 12 gallon long tank. Purigen is a must with the new setup. 1st time using Matrix in my filter too.
Hi Jurijs,
i use it all except the Prime.
A few weeks ago i bought PREMIER of aquavitro,
because I read some comments that it would be a little better than STABILITY. Do you agree?
I would buy too all line of fertilizer of seachem, because i have a good tap water, so i need to fertilize my tank indivual, and i think Seachem line it´s a good option.
I also am big on Seachem Matrix, and have recently begun looking into their other products. Still on my first tank, only two months in and I am loving it! I've learned a lot and been inspired by your and MD Fish Tanks videos. I also get a lot of inspo from following the aquascaping and wabikusa tags on insta.
Thanks Jonathan, i now too started watching MD fish tanks - cushion mosh :D
Like a two months ago I started this Aquascaping journey and now in my head goes just plants care, co2 level, water quality, shrimp (have 5 amano shrimps btw), canister filter (oase biomaster 350t it's on the way btw, bought it from vattenliv.se here in Sweden, and so on. It's just Aquascaping in my head. Have a 96L tank which was fully cycled until without knowledge I killed all the bacts. No2 and KH levels still today high levels. So Seachem Matrix and Purigen are the best combo I can find nowdays.
I started in thus thanks to you and Greenaqua crew.
Thanks for your Feedback Leo, good luck with your journey, what is that you struggle the most with?
@@JurijsJutjajevs Hi. Well right now ...
High levels of Nitrite no matter of 50% water change 2x week.
High levels of KH even after I dosed 48ml (96l tank) of Tetra Safe Start.
I realised I did a disaster after I introduced 3 Rosen tetra, 5 Neon tetra and 5 Amano shrimp at the same time. Pls don't cringe! 😅😅
Great Video! Love the Seachem Products! Use the Prime all the time! The stream is very peaceful and beautiful! Some people just don't care by leaving garbage. Terrible! Thank you for sharing Jurijs!
I have Seachem Matrix in three of my aquariums and when I put it in I saw a massive change in my water quality. It got so clear! That was my only change so I know it's Matrix doing. I would be very happy to try out all the other Seachem product because they are hard to find here in Sweden and maybe I can spread the word in the fish community about Seachem so more resellers could distribute it! 🤗 I love you're videos Jurijs they are so beutiful to watch like a piece of art and mindfulness all into one! ❤ Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you Annica, it is always great when you know what has caused the change ;) good luck in the giveaway
1. Seachem Prime is just amazing. You need small amounts of it and it lasts very long time.
2. Seachem matrix is pretty much standard nowadays, wouldnt think using anything else for biological filtration.
3. Flourish is also very good, small amounts needed, saves you tons of money for micro ferts and does great job. Actually does better job then most of branded ferts I tried before.
I would like to try Purigen as I heard it is actually better than similar products and I use something similar with amazing results, so i would really like to see Purigen in action and compare results.
I have used quite a few of their products but these three I would recommend without problem because i use them for almost 2 years now and per my opinion they are great products. For other products I need more time to test them so I could recommend them to anybody.
P.S. There is no better inspiration than nature but sometimes i catch myself observing everything in nature through aquascaping ;)
I special order Seachem Purigen for my Mbuna tank. You cant count on plants and stuff to make the water clean if you have only rocks and woods. But the Purigen lets me have a safe feeling and clear water!!
I love how you took the garbage from the nature 🙏🏼 and also that you are much more active. Please keep goin Juri 👏🏼
i liked to use excel against bba. currently put it in my fert solutions to ward off mold. using prime since a year ago, when water company started to put more chlorine in the mains. relatedly, when did seachem eliminate slime coating protection in prime? i would like to try purigen.
Thanks for the education and insight.
I have used all those products except Purigen. The recharging sounds like a good option. Thanks for the tip on using Prime after recharging the Purigen.
As for nature and hiking, I also agree it is a pleasure. We do a good amount for Scouting and also teach the "Leave no Trace Principles." I'd hate to think there could be a time with no nature to emulate in aquaplaning or hand down to another generation.
Thanks again,
Jim
Hey Jim, I think kids who spend time with parents in nature learn not leave garbage in nature. Unfortunately I see more and more kids growing up in concrete only focused on the display of their phones.. I used to play outside in nature when I grew up, so for me its second nature to not leave my garbage outside
Hi Jurijs
Many thanks for your hard work on the chanel and keeping absolutely TOP QUALITY all the time. Great job!!!
In regards to trash - no comment!
I guess this is the education which is missing in some people heads. I am so happy that you mention so many interesting places in Europe which runs the Nature Aquariums. Greetings from Switzerland.
Good product I used them a lot excel iron potassium phosphorus ... I like it
Seachem Equilibrium, Matrix and Purigen are the products I use pretty much always but I'm also using Flourish tabs from time to time. There are other products I'm using from time to time such as Stress Guard and ParaGuard. Their Tropical Nutridiet is pretty good as well. Currently I'm trying to get my hands on Safe but for some reason no one seems to sell it here. Maybe because you get much more bang for the buck with it than with Prime?
I like the Seachem products. I use both Prime and Safe. I also use Puritan and Mateix in my filters. Their Tidal filters are good products as well.
My fav is the Seachem Matrix! It's a basic MUST HAVE! Reliable and efficient 👌👌 thank you for this review Jurijs!! 💚
Thanks Francisca, good luck for the giveaway
I have been using seachem flourish for a month and I really notice that all my plant are growing better than in the past
good on you to do your part for Mother Nature. she needs all the help we can give her.
Love your content bro. It would be wonderful if you could make a video about RO water in detail. Like how it is used in planted aquarium, which additives to add to achieve which level of TDS/GH/KH etc. Keep up the good work
I personally love using Seachem, Matrix, Purigen, Iron and EXCEL products.
Is seachem purigen really effective when it is regenerated?
Then for Seachem Excel, I don't think it's very effective for removing Cladophora Algae. I've tried it and only Cladophora Algae can't be lost from the tank
I haven’t tried matrix or purigen before. I do love stability and prime. I also use equilibrium for adding back minerals to my RO water.
I've used Seachem Prime and Purigen quite often ever since getting back into the hobby a couple years ago and getting into planted tanks.
I didn't test the products of Seachem, but they are definitely on my list👌🏻 great Video!😊
I love Seachem, I use
Seachem Flourish Advance, Seachem Flourish Iron,
Seachem Flourish Potassium, Seachem Matrix, Seachem Purigen and Seachem Prime. I can not be more satisfied with the results, all my plants have vibrant colors and the quality levels of the water can not be better.
Other than Seachem prime, Seachem flourish excel is a must have. I can't even count the amount of times this single product has saved my tank from algae and at the same time helped plants grow fast and keep them healthy. Highly recommend it.
In India we usually get it in high price, all though it's a very good product and I use it few time. But I have mixed results for controlling on algae (by spot treating method) by Sachem flourish excel. I recommend Hydrogen peroxide rather then Sachem Flourish Excel for treating Algae issue.
Other products are very good.
Enjoy the Helloween.
Take care.
Great product's. Im in South Africa and its well priced. I personally use prime. Excel. Flourish. Iron. Stability. And puregen. Really works.
Nice giveaway. Really enjoying all your new videos. Keep them coming 👊🏻
cheers mate, appreciate your feedback!
Hi Jurijs!
My favorite Seachem product is the Seachem Matrix, but also the Purigen as well. I noticed that they were excisting by Green Aqua, in their filtration Tutorial ;-). It was amazing to see how the Purigen cleared the water so fast and efficienct! I would like to try the other products for my new 120p Aquascape in the living room 👌🥰👌
I love your videos, they are made so well and interesting that I watch them every single day, no matter if I have time 🤣
Stay Calm and as you are!!!! 👻
I just tried the Seachem Stability to start a new nano tank, and the system is doing great! Love the Seachem line!
how quick have you been able to introduce live stock?
I'm using Seachem Matrix and Purigen too for a little while now and i would love to test the other products as well!
I use seachem matrix and seachem excel.... the motivation to use these products...I got from your friendly studio Green Aqua...and yeah I agree u guys are promoting really useful products...
I use Seachem Prime, because of all tapwater conditioners on Aquasabi it it has the best price/liter of aquarium water. For 200l of tapwater i need only 5ml of Seachem Prime. I use it because my tapwater contains copper, witch is harmfull for snails. Prime binds/filters it safely, after adding it i measure 0,0mg/l Cu.
Was thinking about giving the seachem flourish a go. After seeing this I think I'll try the purigen aswell. Thanks
you won't be disappointed, that stuff is amazing
I love Purigen and matrix. I have used both of those products in saltwater and freshwater. I am going to use matrix in purigen in my oase biomaster 600 thermo. I am also going to use seachem equilibrium with my RO water. Do you use equilibrium with your RO water?
I get motivation from landscapes of large hillside farm pastures with trees. I don’t know why I am so drawn towards this type of landscape.
no I haven't used Equilibrium from sachem yet, only the products in the video - but I will give it a try when I run out my other minerals powder
Hi Juri,
Ich habe die Seachem Produkte noch nie benutzt habe aber schon oft darüber nachgedacht mal das Seachem Purigen in meinen Filter zu legen .
Beautiful nature vid.
I think you really should have added that, after bleaching used Purigen, should rinse in water with 3x normal dose of Prime.
Love from Australia. I have been aquascaping cor about 2 years now.
I used seachem prime, iron, flourish, excel.
I would love to experience the difference between my current filter media vs matrix and purigen.
Amazing content! Love the videos. I have a few special spots in Far Northern Queensland Australia to draw inspiration from.
Guy
Guy Lort-Phillips where do you source your plants in Australia do not think we have anything that is comparable to tropica, thanks Scott
Scott Wilson I have a good local shop in Cairns Max Aquarium who has access to tissue cultures. Pisces do some good live plants as well
My favorite product is Seachem Prime, it takes a lot of the worry out of water changes. Very interested in Purigen and Matrix since I just bought a canister filter. Does Purigen draw any ferts from the water?
yes it does, but if you do daily dosing small amounts, plants uptake them very quickly and only what's left goes into purigen
Hi Juriijs. Have you ever used Seachem Equilibrium to mineralize RO water on an active soil ? Is this even possible?
I haven't tried this product yet
I'd like to try the Seachem fertilizers or the Seachem Prime ! I use them all, except the fertilizers in caps or the Seachem Prime. And, I will keep using them cause they work good for my planted aquarium. Excellent video buddy!!!
thank you for your feedback!
I have not used any of the Seachem products yet, but might see if my local aquarium store has purigen! Id like to try it out
Prime is fantastic value for money, and an essential part of my regime, purigen is very effective at removing tannins, a nice to have, especially for newly introduced wood
Seachem matrix and purigen is the only thing I use in my filter. Really loved them!
Purigen is like magic!!! from murky and yellow to clean and clear!! love that it can get regenerated so easily! I also use Seachem Safe the dry concentrated form of Prime which i also use on my water =) Thanks for the awesome videos keep it up!!
Purigen is a product you have to try to fall in love with
