Before Using Chemical Filtration - WATCH THIS! [Is it a Waste of Money? Do You Really Need It?]

Is chemical filtration a waste of money? Does it work? Do you really need it? Do I use it? These are some of the questions I've been hearing lately. Well, here are my tips, based on first hand experience on using (or not using) chemical filtration. I've used all of the most popular brands like ChemiPure (Blue and Green), Seachem Purigen and Seachem Matrix Activated Charcoal).

I give you my conclusion and final verdict on this subject at the end of this video. You agree or you might disagree. I certainly want to know what's been your experience with chemical filtration? Did you notice a difference? Do you use it now or have you stopped using it? Why? Share your thoughts, knowledge and experience in the comments below and let's "Always Be Learning!"
