Seachem Prime is not just another water conditioner; it's the epitome of quality, concentration, and effectiveness. Whether you're a freshwater or saltwater enthusiast, Prime has your back, and here's why it's the gold standard among water conditioners:
Key Features:
-
Chlorine and Chloramine Removal: Prime excels at removing chlorine and chloramine, ensuring that your aquatic inhabitants are protected from these harmful compounds commonly found in tap water.
-
Ammonia Detoxification: Beyond mere dechlorination, Prime goes a step further by detoxifying ammonia. It converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic form that can be easily removed by your aquarium's biofilter, safeguarding your aquatic life.
-
Nitrite and Nitrate Detoxification: Prime also detoxifies nitrite and nitrate, enhancing the efficiency of your biofilter in removing these potentially harmful substances.
-
Heavy Metal Detoxification: Prime doesn't stop at just chlorine and chloramine. It effectively detoxifies heavy metals commonly present in tap water at typical concentration levels.
-
Non-Acidic Formula: Prime maintains your aquarium's pH stability as it is non-acidic, ensuring that your aquatic environment remains balanced.
-
No Skimmer Overactivation: Reef hobbyists will appreciate that Prime doesn't overactivate protein skimmers, keeping your reef setup harmonious.
-
Ammonia Binder: Prime contains an ammonia binder, which is crucial for detoxifying ammonia produced during the reduction process, ensuring that your aquarium remains free from toxic ammonia.
Directions for Use:
-
New Water: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 200 L (50 US gallons) of new water. For smaller volumes, you can approximate 1 mL per cap thread.
-
Adding to Aquarium: While Prime can be added directly to the aquarium, it's even more effective when added to new water before introduction. Base the dose on your aquarium's volume.
-
High Chloramine Levels: In cases of exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose of Prime can be used safely.
-
Emergency Nitrite Detoxification: If you encounter a nitrite emergency, you can use up to 5 times the normal dose to detoxify it effectively.
-
High Temperature Consideration: If your water temperature exceeds 30°C (86°F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, consider using a half dose for optimal results.
