Seachem Prime

Seachem Prime

Seachem 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.

Prime® is up to 5x more concentrated than competing products and is the second most concentrated dechlorinator on the market only after our own aquavitro® alpha™.

Prime® may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity. It contains a binder which renders ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate non-toxic, allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. It will also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. Use at start-up and whenever adding or replacing water. When transporting or quarantining fish, use Seachem StressGuard™. When adding new fish, use Stability®. Both are ideal for use with Prime®.

Directions

• Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 200 L (50 US gallons) of new water.
• For smaller volumes, please note each cap thread is approximately 1 mL.
• May be added to aquarium directly, but better if added to new water first.
• If adding directly to aquarium, base dose on aquarium volume.
• Sulfur odor is normal.
• For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely.
• To detoxify nitrite in an emergency, up to 5 times normal dose may be used. If temperature is > 30 °C (86 °F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, use a half dose.
