It is very popular with nano users. I run it in my 24g and love it, wouldn't run a tank w/o it.

i used to use it and swear by it, but after the tank matured I pulled it out and never looked back. I second that it's great in nanos though!

Chemi-Clean seems to have better feedback.

As far as Purigen. Don't buy the bulk. Only use the premade packets. The grains are so small they are a mess to deal with.

Ditto, and since a packet handles up to 100g and is readily renewable, there's really not much reason to buy the bulk. I use 4 packets in my 450.

I think you are mixing up Clemi-Clean with Chemi-Pure and actually Chemi-Pure. Chemi-Clean is the white powder used to treat cyano!
