What is the difference between activated Carbon and Purigen? Crystal clear aquarium water tips

Activated Carbon and purigen are proven products aquairum hobbyists use to get crystal clear aquarium water in their aquariums. Since both activated carbon and purigen generate water clarity both the products work totally differently in the aquairum so sometimes it can be confusing whether to go with activated carbon or purigen in our aquariums. for that we need to have a good understanding of how these products work in an aquarium.                
                           The main difference between activated carbon and purigen is that activated carbon is produced from naturally available raw materials like coconut husk by heating above 600 degrees celsius and by removing impurities by chemical wash. Compared with purigen activated carbon can be called an aggressive absorbent as it can absorb chlorine, heavy metals aquarium medications and a lot more that is in our aquairum. due to this aggressive nature, activated carbon can also exhaust faster. any good quality activated carbon will exhaust within 30 days. The faster exhaustion of activated carbon makes activated carbon a less attractive product as it needs to be replaced quite often. Activated carbon is mostly used in the aquairum as a quick absorbent to remove smell and aquairum medications faster from the aquairum. Another disadvantage of activated carbon is that activated carbon absorbs trace minerals that are present in the aquairum as well which can affect the aquarium plants' growth. That's another reason activated carbon is not recommended in planted tank aquariums.                                                         
  Compared to activated carbon purigen is a mild absorbent that can do only certain things that activated carbon won't be able to do. since purigen won't absorb any trace minerals they can be safely used in any of the planted tank infrastructures. Since purigen is a mild absorbant it won't exhaust easily like activated carbon. so Purigene can be easily used for a longer period of time as per Seachem 250 grams of purigen is good for an aquairum with a size of 1000 litre capacity for 6 months. This is a game-changing feature as purigen can be used for a very long period of time and can be regenerated compared to activated carbon. Purigen is a synthetic absorbant that is purpose build .so purigen can remove organics before they can be converted by bacteria into ammonia, nitrite or nitrate, resulting in lowered nitrate concentrations in our aquarium. The second thing is purigen can be easily regenerated and can be used again and again as far as 10 times.
