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.
Seachem Prime is the pinnacle of water conditioning, offering unparalleled quality and effectiveness. Whether you're starting up or maintaining your aquarium, Prime is your reliable partner in creating and sustaining a healthy aquatic habitat.
