Seachem Prime

is a highly concentrated water conditioner designed for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. It effectively removes chlorine and chloramine while detoxifying ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, making it an essential product for maintaining a healthy aquatic environment. Prime is non-acidic, won’t affect pH levels, and is particularly beneficial for reef hobbyists, as it does not over-activate skimmers.

Key Features:

• Concentrated Formula: 5X more concentrated than competing products.
• Dual Use: Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater.
• Chlorine & Chloramine Removal: Effectively eliminates harmful chemicals from tap water.
• Detoxification: Detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, making them non-toxic for fish and invertebrates.
• Non-Acidic: Will not alter pH levels in the aquarium.
• Heavy Metal Detoxification: Binds to heavy metals to make them non-toxic at typical concentrations.
• Cycling Support: Can be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia and nitrite toxicity.

Specifications:

• Size: 2 liters
• Concentration: 5X more concentrated than standard dechlorinators

How to Use:

1. Dosage: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 200 liters (50 US gallons) of new water. For smaller volumes, note that each cap thread is approximately 1 mL.
2. Application:
   • Preferably add to new water before introducing it to the aquarium.
   • If adding directly to the aquarium, base the dosage on the total volume of water.
3. Odor: A sulfur smell is normal.
4. High Chloramine Levels: For exceptionally high concentrations, a double dose can be used safely.
5. Emergency Detoxification: In emergencies, up to 5 times the normal dose can be used to detoxify nitrite.
6. Temperature Considerations: If the temperature exceeds 30 °C (86 °F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, use a half dose.

Seachem Prime is an invaluable tool for any aquarium enthusiast looking to ensure a safe and healthy environment for their aquatic life.
