2019年3月23日 · Would anyone actually trust putting a fish into a cycling tank and following seachem's prime and stability instructions? They say to dose prime every other day in a cycling tank until it is completed, and add stability everyday for the first 7 days. Prime supposedly detoxifies ammonia nitrites...

2020年2月12日 · Seachem AmGuard is the better of the two products at detoxifying ammonia as you can treat for more than 2ppm. In comparison, Seachem Prime can only treat 2ppm of ammonia at the most. With that said, Prime has a lot of other features, the most important of which is its ability to also detoxify nitrite.

2013年5月12日 · Prime will not negatively effect a saltwater aquarium if used in the right amount. It is in no means a solution to high nitrates or ammonia but rather a tested method of removing chlorine with the added benefit of detoxifying nitrates and ammonia at the same time.

2021年8月5日 · Prime by Seachem is commonly used to treat tap water, it dechlorinates Chlorine and Chloramine. This effect is strong and easily measurable by test kits. But Prime also claims that it "...detoxifies ammonia. Prime® converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic form that is readily removed by the tank’s biofilter."

2021年3月6日 · So, I've been using API Quickstart and Tetra dechlorinator for my water changes and wanted to switch to PRIME. However, I'm hoping someone can give me some information. Quickstart needs a capful for every 5 gallons whereas PRIME needs a capful for every 50 gallons. How does PRIME need such a...

2021年8月5日 · Info: Seachem Prime® product description Prime® is the complete and concentrated conditioner for both fresh and saltwater. Prime® removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia. Prime® converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic form that is readily removed by the tank’s biofilter.

2021年7月22日 · Prime works by chemically binding ammonia. The bound ammonia is still available for bacteria to consume. I never thought about which bacteria can do this. Question: does binding ammonia with Prime reroute the ammonia to bacteria that turn the bound ammonia into new bacteria cells instead of letting nitrifying bacteria turn ammonia into nitrate.

2020年7月27日 · Hi! I have recently started a Nano reef with one clownfish and I understand that Prime can help to temporarily detoxify ammonia and nitrites for 48 hours in a reef tank. I have trace levels of these in my tank since it has just been started but my clownfish is doing very well right now and I...

2021年9月15日 · Seachem says these products detect free ammonia and can be used to observe Prime working. The conclusion is the same using Seneye or Seachem colorimetric films: Prime does not neutralize, combine with or detoxify ammonia in saltwater. And I will go out on a limb and say the similar claim about reducing nitrite and nitrate concentration is nonsense.

2023年2月20日 · This started when @Dan_P was looking at measuring NH3 with seneye and was curious about performance near zero NH3. I suggested trying Prime to artificially zero out the NH3 sensor, and the results were weird... so I checked with my seachem kit. Prime by Seachem is commonly used to treat tap...
