Yeah, I was gonna ask that too. I was thinking of those super fine nettings, kind of like those used in shrimp nets. Or even stockings, though I wonder if it's at all possible to find nylon-type stockings... Don't want the stocking to degrade in the filter.

Yes, I faced the same problem in the past. So I went to source a filter bag that is small and yet fine enough to hold Purigen without any issues. What I found and brought in, is a small filter bag that was made for marine tanks. Perfect for Purigen.




Purigen is resting on the filter bag

You can be the first to try and let us know if it works..
As far as I know, the Seachem agent in Singapore does not bring in The Bag anymore. You may still be able to find old stock though.
