Hi everyone!

I`ve been given some of this stuff, but I`m a little anxious of using it, as I usually use API stress coat and use it with confidence, the seachem seems to do the same job, and bonus, you dont use nearly as much!
But as its new and untried by myself just wanted some reassurance from anyone who uses this when they do water changes.
I usually change 65litres on a weekly basis, what dosage is that?
I dont want to overdose, the instructions say 5ml for 200l of new water, so for 65l water change is that 3ml?

saechem products are normally excellent , never used this product, but dont see why it should be any less efficient ,I would dose one and a half ml ,for 60 ltrs, little bit more for sixty five

Talk to Alex (fryboy) about it, he uses it and he waters it down to make it last longer I believe.

Double check with him and i'm sure he'll gladly fill you in Fishy

i make it 1.625 mil for your 65litre waterchange .

5 per 200, so 2.5 per100, so 2.5/100 =0.025 0.025x65=1.625


i have heard its good stuff. i like seachum products

therefore 1ml of Prime to every 40 litres of water

65 litres = 1.6ml Prime

I use Prime, have been for ages, it generally regarded as one of the best (if not the best) from what i read on forums, and ironically, it's cheaper than most others.

Like Grandad say's Seachem is a brand i respect.

As for dosage, you don't have to be mega precise, i've heard that from Seachem themselves (directly).

So if you are putting in 65 litres of tapwater, 2-3ml (instead of the exact 1.6ml) will be fine Sally and 5ml even would not do any damage according to Seachem, but for the sake of money, no point massively overdosing.

Also, huge doses of any dechlorinator will reduce oxygen availability in the water as far as i know (big doses i mean)

You'd be suprised Grandad, this stuff is very economical, i was just suggesting 2-3 ml, as i had visions our Sally measuring out 1.625ml and spending hours doing it

It will detoxify Chlorine and Chloramine from tapwater and also detoxify any ammonia that happens to be in the tank (which it shouldnt be anyway to any significant degree)

If you are using Prime and testing every now and then for ammonia, it's best not to test for ammonia for a few days until after you have used prime as prime can give false positive ammonia readings (this is not a concern or danger).

According to Seachem, Prime remains "active" in the water for about 48 hrs.
