Prime 250ml

Seachem Prime is a concentrated water conditioner for freshwater and marine aquariums, aimed at keepers who prepare tap water for water changes or set up a new tank. It converts chlorine, chloramine and ammonia into a non-toxic form, so the water can be used safely right after treatment.

Why it matters

• Converts ammonia into a non-toxic form that the biological filter removes quickly, which helps lower ammonia and nitrite levels during tank cycling.
• Binds nitrates and nitrites, making them easier for the biological filter to remove.
• Neutralizes heavy metals present in tap water.
• Stimulates production and regeneration of the protective slime coat on fish bodies, and does not affect water pH or overload a protein skimmer.

What it works with

Prime is intended for both freshwater and marine tanks, and can be dosed directly into the aquarium or, preferably, into the container where the replacement water is prepared. A faint sulfur smell after dosing is normal, and the manufacturer allows a double dose when chloramine levels are particularly high.
