Seachem Prime® - the most concentrated water conditioner on the market!

Nearly all pet aquatics companies manufacture a product that removes chlorine. None of those, however, can compare in quality, concentration, or effectiveness to Seachem’s flagship product: Prime®. Prime® is the complete and concentrated conditioner for both fresh and saltwater. Prime® removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. It is non-acidic and will not impact pH. A further bonus for the reef hobbyist-Prime® will not over-activate skimmers.

My biggest knock against Seachem when it comes to Prime is the lack of clarity right up front with respect to neutralizing ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. No one should have to engage in a research exercise in order to learn that it only neutralizes them for 24-48 hours. Come on Seachem, state this right up front every time you state it "detoxifies ammonia, nitrite and nitrate." It's a great product, there's absolutely no need to bury this limitation.

I use easylife aquamaker. It works faster than prime and it has specs more than prime. But i would recommend prime since it is popular aquamaker is underrated and no one uses it :( prime is 5x dosage for high concentrations of chlorine ammonia chloramine nitrites and nitrates (2mg/L or higher) while aquamaker is 3x dosage for high concentrations of chlorine ammonia chloramine nitrites and nitrates (6mg/L or higher) aquamaker is an award winning competitor. Aquamaker detoxifies ammonia nitrite and nitrate for 7 days

So wait, do I have to add more every two weeks? I plan on having a axolotl so please tell me! I have a 20 Gallon tank

[@OutdoorsIQ]

Don’t forget prime detoxifies the ammonia to a state not harmful to your fish but still can be used by the bacteria in your tank. So really, your bacteria should remove the ammonia once it catches up.

[@jimmyfall9302]

Now if only the ads weren’t longer than your videos. That would be great.

[@apdroidgeek1737]

I think it would be great to make a video of how it works.

[@easternstar9372]

This was the most helpful video in prime

[@seachem]

Thank you!! We appreciate the feedback!

[@wdnmd6603]

This is one of the best products I used by far

[@erikm8372]

Thanks for this, I've been using Prime for over a decade. Plus Flourish excel, etc... but was only now thinking - can I use this for houseplants, or is there any kind of residue leftover? I suppose I can answer this myself; my aquariums are full of plants & fish, & I usually give water change water to my houseplants... haha. Certain plants (ideally) can only handle distilled, spring, or reverse osmosis water. Brita or bottled water is an easy alternative, though not optimal. I'm mostly referring to the following: 1. prayer plants (maranta/calathea/ctenanthe). 2. ginger plants (alpinia sp.) 3. dracaena/sansevieria (snake plant). 4. air plants (tillandsia) - maybe all bromeliads could benefit from dechlorinated h2o. 5. orchids (some can handle tap, mainly epi's/cymbidiums/phael's). 6. ALL carnivorous plants. 7. Rex begonias. 8. Pilea sp. 9. Pepperomia sp. (maybe) These plants all notoriously get burnt-looking leaf tips + brown edges, as they have a difficult time diffusing excess fluoride, chlorine, etc. Some have delicate root systems that chlorine is just not healthy for. Thanks!!

[@seachem]

Although this is not the intended application, Prime will instantly dechlorinate water. Prime itself is only active in the water for up to 48 hours so if you have any hesitation I would recommend preparing your water 48 hours in advance before using it for house plants. Or even using aquarium water post water change! We should mention as a side note that Prime, or any Seachem product for that matter, is not FDA approved so we can't recommend any of our products for things intended for human consumption such as vegetables, fruits, etc. Just in case :)

[@Ummmmmkay88]

It’s really hard to properly dose seachem for smaller tanks.

[@beezymeech]

2 drop per gallon is not complicated unless you literally dropped out at 5th grade

[@nikonvision_93]

Cai I use prime for boring water?

[@balam574]

Ive been using Prime for a long time and it works amazingly well. Never has my pond water been tested to have any trace of chlorine. What really bothers me and I continue to question it, is that the 250ml bottle I have has a much much stronger chemical odor than the big 2 Liter jug I purchased on Amazon. I feel like the larger jug is diluted. Is that true? If we’re paying a lot more for the 2L jug, why would it be diluted in concentration over the smaller bottles? But with that said, the larger bottle still seems to work the same. Or…..has the chemical stench of Seachem just gotten better over the years and I didnt know it?

[@ZukoTRD]

how long would I have to wait too add my fish after using prime?

[@manimnuna]

I am looking forward to that as well

[@Cougar139tweak]

I understand that it detoxifies Ammonia Nitrate and Nitrate but will still show high levels using water testing... is that correct?

[@lolavanenburg1647]

Did you get a reply to question..I’m the same with my water.

[@brianmizway9324]

Key word is detoxify. It doesn't remove. It's still there but just makes it safe for the fish till your filter can get rid of it or if you do a water change.

[@erycricardo3087]

Can we use seachem prime in the ATO container?

[@R-kb7mv]

does seachem safe work just as fast?

[@cuuhcuhh5364]

How much of stability do I use in 40 gallon tank ?

[@Mr.Gribble]

80 drops

[@jordanservin5762]

Two Capfulls first time@@Mr.Gribble

[@charlescox4213]

is it safe for corals and invertebrates?

[@MazelTov1981]

Has it vitamin C? Acid ascorbic.

[@AverageAnimals]

Am I supposed to use it everyday? Or just while water change every week

[@foggyvhs8790]

It's only my Prime new tank stabilization that says to use for 7 days. I think this is just for water you'd add in water changes.

[@AverageAnimals]

@@foggyvhs8790 thanks :), lol I can’t believe I asked this question 10 months ago it feels so weird,

[@kianamanley1173]

So if I have a 10 gallon how much prime do I use?

[@princessfatima4957]

I believe 20 drops? She told someone that had a gallon 10 drops, I have a 3.5 tank, and I think I did 5 drops before. But I would search else where, I’m not 100% sure if im correct

[@tamingguppies]

1ml = 10gallon

[@AydoF]

so my tank it's 24 gallon need half of capful right :D

[@schizobipolarjoe]

Yes half a cap. 1cap(5ml) for every 200L (50 us gallons ) or 2 drops for each 4L (1 us gallon) if using the squirt caps that come on the small 50ML (1.7 oz) bottles

[@moreliamedero4394]

How much do I add for 3 gal?

[@Bryant801.]

6 drops .. 2 per gallon.

[@Bryant801.]

But can probably add more it wouldn’t overdose your fish if you added 8 instead of 6

[@SoCallEmma]

So if I have a 5 gallon I would add 10 drops?

[@seachem]

Yes, correct, 10 drops treats 5 US gallons. :)

[@titankyo]

is AmGuard more effective at dealing with ammonia?

[@seachem]

AmGuard detoxifies ammonia for 72 hours and Prime detoxifies ammonia for 48 hours. However, the standard dose of each detoxifies different amounts. Please email us at [e-mail] if you need more assistance picking the correct product for your aquarium needs!

[@rubenmartinez3790]

Can use Prime for well water?

[@twelvelookslike]

Check your well water first. I checked mine and it has a crap load of ammonia

[@zackcruz304]

Hi. I can just drop the prime without mixing it?

[@seachem]

Hello! Yes, you can add Prime directly.

[@lolavanenburg1647]

If I’m doing a 40% water change in a 450 litre tank, how much do I use..it’s my first time using Seachem Prime.

[@dalia2607]

If i have 23 gallon how much do i add ? 1mL or 2?

[@seachem]

The standard dose is 1mL per 10 US gallons. For a 23 gallon tank you would need 2.3mL.

[@gisellejuarez1124]

how much do i add for a 65 gallon

[@magicchair8636]

130

[@hiarahkimusic3282]

How much do I use for 160 gallon tank please? UK

[@jt.633]

A cap full for 50 gallons 3 capfuls for 150 gallons 20 drops for 10 gallons = 160 gallons

[@f_iixi]

[@fasolaru8674]
