ughhh my eyes from those giant unrotated pictures....

That's great that the mandarin is eating frozen mysis! Great sign for long term stability and health!

If you've got a fuge that is growing chaeto and/or another algae, and you're regularly pruning it back and throwing it out, then I wouldn't bother to run purigen (which is usually used to remove nitrates). The Chemipure is mostly carbon, which will remove some of the yellowing compounds released by algae, so whether you continue to run it or not is up to you.

I'm running carbon (chemipure elite) right now because I just did a heavy duty water change, scraped a ton of bubble algae out, and generally disturbed the heck out of my corals and sand bed, so I'm sure it released a lot of chemical compounds into the water. I don't usually run any chemical filtration of any sort, just skimming and occasional water changes.
