Seachem Prime
Seachem Prime is a concentrated conditioner designed to remove harmful chemicals such as chlorine and chloramine from freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The pet-safe formula detoxifies ammonia, nitrites and nitrates and provides essential ions and contributes to the production of a natural slime coat.
Seachem Prime is five times more concentrated than competing products and will also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. Aquarists can rest assured knowing that the solution is non-acidic and will not impact delicate pH balances in the aquarium, and reef hobbyists specifically will appreciate the fact that Prime will not over-activate skimmers.

I’ve used Seachem Prime for over a year in my marine tank. It effectively removes chlorine and chloramine from tap water without disturbing the pH. My corals and fish have remained healthy, and I no longer have to worry about water changes before adding new fish.

The product works quickly and leaves no residue. I use it every time I refill the tank. My reef tank has been stable since I started using it. No issues with skimmer performance either.

Good product, works well for detoxifying tap water. A little more concentrated than other brands, so I use less. My fish seem more active since I started using it regularly.

I switched from a cheaper conditioner to Seachem Prime and noticed a significant improvement in water quality. My shrimp and snails are thriving, and there’s no sign of stress after water changes.
