Seachem Prime is the complete and concentrated conditioner for both fresh and saltwater. Seachem Prime removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia. Prime converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic form that is readily removed by the tankÂ’s biofilter. Prime may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity. Seachem Prime detoxifies nitrite and nitrate, allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. It will also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. Seachem Prime is non-acidic and will not impact pH. Prime will not overactivate skimmers. Use at start-up and whenever adding or replacing water. A single 100 mL bottle will treat 1000 US gallons of tap water. Seachem Prime will remove both chlorine and chloramines from municipal water supplies. Prime also contains a binder which renders ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate non-toxic. It is very important to understand how those two functions work together. All dechlorinators operate through a chemical process known as reduction. In this process, toxic dissolved chlorine gas (Cl2) is converted into non-toxic chloride ions (Cl-). The reduction process also breaks the bonds between chlorine and nitrogen atoms in the chloramine molecule (NH2Cl), freeing the chlorine atoms and replacing them with hydrogen (H) to create ammonia (NH3). Typically, dechlorinators stop there, leaving an aquarium full of toxic ammonia! Seachem takes the necessary next step by including an ammonia binder to detoxify the ammonia produced in the reduction process.
Be very careful when purchasing water conditioners. If your municipality includes chloramines in the water supplies, a standard sodium thiosulfate dechlorinator is not enough. Seachem Prime promotes the natural production and restoration of the slime coat rather than relying on artificial or non-native slime compounds. A further bonus for the reef hobbyist—Prime will not overactivate protein skimmers.
Seachem Prime:
- complete and concentrated conditioner for both fresh and saltwater
- removes chlorine, chloramine
- detoxi?es ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate
- 5X more concentrated than competing products
Application of Seachem Prime:
Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 200 L 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. - complete and concentrated conditioner for both fresh and saltwater

Ein sehr gutes Produkt. Ich hatte schon diverse andere Wasseraufbereiter und bin von diesem hier am meisten überzeugt. Es riecht zwar streng nach einer gewissen weile verfliegt aber sofort im Einsatz. Ich werde es beibehalten.Steph J. at 20.05.2023:
This is by far the mest option for water conditioning. I use it every time I do water changes, to neutralise chlorine and chloramine. Compared to other alternatives this is super concentrated and will last you much longer than other brands.Pål S. at 10.04.2023:
