can you use TOO much hypersorb? will jungle start right damage this? does this remove things that carbon does? and do i have to use buffer?

This is a direct replacement/upgrade to carbon; and if you use more than necessary, it won't harm your aquarium stock. Over usage will allow Hypersorb to last longer because there's more to go around. Also, I don't have a clue about jungle start. Using a buffer is not a necessity. Remember, Hypersorb is a much better alternative to carbon. The following is my personal belief/experience: Carbon=GOOD Hypersorb=BETTERPurigen=BEST.

Will this remove tannins?

It didn't work for me. Purigen does work though

Is this as fine as purigen? I love purigen and know that purigen will really only stay in "the bag"

I bought this in the 100ml size and it stayed in the mesh bag it came with. If you are using bulk from a container, someone suggested to me to use a women's nylon stocking to contain purigen and/or hypersorb. I haven't tried it yet. I am staying with purigen after trying hypersorb. I use this in a Intank media rack in my Biocube 29. Both are for organic waste removal. But... According to Seachem, Purigen also "polishes" the water.For me, Purigen seems to outperform Hypersorb in my saltwater tank.

Is it ok to use if you have invertebrates?

Hello It should be ok, hypersorb is just a alternative to carbon. I use it instead of carbon sometimes & and I have snails & discus. It removes odors & organics when I’ve used it.
