I use a liter and half for my 220

I bought 59 cents panty hose at wal mart and cut it the size I wanted and it works perfectly.

U gotta be careful on the panty hose bc they rip easily and when it spills into ur tank it is no joke it takes forever to get it out :) trust me it happened to me before

Have you recharged it? I've read that you have to remove the purigen from the pantyhose to recharge it or else the bleach will eat through the pantyhose. Sounds like a PITA compared to "The Bag".

Nope but I'll figure something out.

I was placing an order online and decided to buy some fine mesh bags to put my purigen in rather than buy pre-packed 100g bags. I order some 100 micron bags and when they come in they look like felt, not the typical mesh. Is this normal or did I just order a cheap bag?

Re: Purigen

Order the "The Bag" made by Seachem. Best option to put Purigen in IMO. I stuff about 250ml of Purigen in them for my use.

the purigen is really fine so it needs a special bag. my 100mL bags definately are not felt but some kind of tightly woven plastic so that you can recharge the bags. sunnys recommendation is best i think, i just got a special buy on the 100mL.

Definitely. They are reusable, too. I'm currently using them to hold some (very fine) substrate from my old tank to help seed the new one, then I'll switch back to purigen. They're made of a sort of plastic mesh, so I could really scrub them to get all the muck off when I went to wash them.
