Prime 50ml – water conditioner (2,000 litres of water)

Prime is a concentrated water conditioner for keepers who prepare tap water for freshwater or marine tanks, whether for new setups or routine water changes. It addresses chloramine and ammonia, which many standard conditioners do not fully handle.

Why it matters

• It binds ammonia into a non-toxic form that the biological filter removes quickly, and it can be used while a new tank is cycling to lower ammonia and nitrite levels.
• It binds nitrates and nitrites, making them easier for the biological filter to remove.
• It neutralizes heavy metals present in tap water, in addition to chlorine and chloramine.
• It stimulates the formation and regeneration of the protective mucus layer on fish bodies, and it does not affect water pH or overload a protein skimmer.

What it works with

Prime is intended for both freshwater and marine aquariums, and the manufacturer recommends dosing it into the container where water for a water change is prepared, rather than directly into the tank, though direct dosing is also possible with the amount adjusted to tank volume. Double the standard dose can be used when chloramine is particularly high, and the product is noted as an alternative where thiosulfate-based conditioners may not be enough for chloramine-treated water.
