Seachem Prime

Introduction

Seachem Prime is a powerful, concentrated water conditioner designed to make tap water safe for aquarium use by removing harmful substances. It detoxifies chlorine, chloramine, and ammonia, and helps control nitrites and nitrates, making it ideal for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Prime is one of the most trusted water conditioners in the aquarium hobby, known for its effectiveness and value, making it a must-have for regular tank maintenance.

Features

• Removes Chlorine and Chloramine: Neutralizes harmful chlorine and chloramine commonly found in tap water, making it safe for aquatic life.
• Detoxifies Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate: Converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic form that is easily removed by the tank’s biofilter. It also detoxifies nitrite and nitrate, helping to control harmful spikes.
• Promotes Healthy Water Conditions: Enhances slime coat production, offering additional protection for fish from injury and infections.
• Non-Acidic: Safe for use in both freshwater and saltwater tanks without affecting pH levels or water hardness.
• Highly Concentrated: One of the most concentrated conditioners available, making it a cost-effective solution that treats a large volume of water.

Usage

• Dosage: Use 5 mL (1 capful) of Seachem Prime per 200 liters (53 gallons) of water. For smaller tanks, use smaller quantities (1 mL per 40 liters / 10 gallons). A dropper can be used for precise measurement.
• Water Changes: Use Prime during every water change to detoxify new water before introducing it into the aquarium. Add the required dose directly to the aquarium for best results.
• Ammonia/Chloramine Detoxification: If ammonia levels are high, up to 5 times the standard dose can be safely used to detoxify ammonia or chloramine.
• Dealing with Emergencies: In cases of emergencies (e.g., ammonia spikes), Prime can be dosed daily until water conditions stabilize.

Available Sizes

• 100 mL: Suitable for smaller aquariums and first-time users. Treats up to 2,000 liters (528 gallons) of water.
• 250 mL: Ideal for small to medium tanks, treating up to 5,000 liters (1,320 gallons).
• 500 mL: A popular choice for medium to large aquariums, treating up to 10,000 liters (2,640 gallons).
• 1 L: Provides long-term usage for larger tanks, treating up to 20,000 liters (5,280 gallons).
• 2 L: Suitable for aquarists with large tanks or those who conduct frequent water changes. Treats up to 40,000 liters (10,560 gallons).

Recommendations

• Routine Water Conditioner: Use Seachem Prime during every water change or whenever adding tap water to your tank to ensure it is safe for fish.
• Ammonia Control: In emergencies, such as high ammonia levels, Prime can be used to quickly detoxify and stabilize water, making it a crucial product in cases of ammonia or nitrite spikes.
• Great for New Setups: Prime is particularly useful during the tank cycling process, as it binds ammonia and nitrite, making them less harmful to fish while allowing the biofilter to establish.
• Combine with Seachem Stability: For optimal results, use Seachem Prime with Seachem Stability, which helps build and maintain the biological filter in both new and established tanks.
