Seachem Prime yes or no?

[Mark Barron]

Getting different views on this product, 1 shop says it's good and 2 shops say it strips water too much, opinions please as now I'm just confused?

"Strips water too much"

What do they mean by that, precisely? And if they can't explain, ignore the advice.

 

[Mark Barron]

Would you recommend it as a good thing to use after each water change?

 

[Mark Barron]

Some said they think it is too harsh

Not sure how the removal of toxic components in tapwater can be considered too harsh lol more likely the shops who are saying that know damn well how economical the stuff is so they're not going to be getting as much of your money as they'd like

 

[Mark Barron]

Thanks

It's the same as any other water conditioner, but much more concentrated and doesn't have added marketing rubbish like Aloe vera or anything else that could interfere with certain chemical media such as Purigen.

I'd agree they probably just don't like selling as it's so economical you'll be back less to buy dechlorinator lol.

When I ran a lfs the most popular product by far was aquasafe. I couldn't fathom why but we laughed and said it was because it was blue. I used prime and told all the loyal customers about it. No one ever had a problem and i'd wager its saved millions of fish because of its ability to detoxify ammonia.
