Is it worth using Seachem Purigen with the CPE like one bag CPE and one bag Seachem Purigen or just use both bags CPE.
As i see Seachem Purigen helps remove ammonia, nitrites and nitrates so maybe one bag CPE and one bag Seachem Purigen.
Joyce sorry to hear about the tang, I think that tangs are quite hardy fish well mine seems to be after all mine has been through as he has been moved from
our old house to our new one and then transferred from one tank to another a;so now my fish are going through a mini cycle caused from the tank transfer.

Yes, Purigen is worth using. Use 2 bags of CPE and one Purigen(100ml comes/w bag). Make sure you gently rinse the CPE until the dark powder stops from the running water, give the Purigen a rinse also.

Ok so would i put the two CPE bags at the bottom and the Purigen on the top or CPE, Purigen, CPE or is this just a stupid question?

Once i get the CPE and Purigen i wouldn't just remove the stock carbon as i suppose it would contain bacteria so i would just take one carbon out and put a
CPE in like glenn said in a earlier post then a few weeks later remove the second carbon and then add the other CPE and the Purigen as I don't want to screw my tank up if i remove or add the wrong thing to quickly.

no worry on this account... your LR has like maybe 90% of all your bacteria and your sand & water the rest... something like that... your carbon bag... has little to no bacteria that matters...

But it's good to ask... show you are a smart cookie & are thinking this all through !

Put some more nori in the tank once i had soaked it in garlic and my tang hasn't stopped eating it since i put it in. Also just ordered my CPE and Purigen and my Selcon and vitachem
so that should be with me in a few days and now im just looking to get a RO unit and a chiller. I was thinking of getting a Teco TR10 chiller with built in heater and UV what you guys think?
