I recently tried the Prime Aquarium Water Conditioner, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results! This product is a game-changer for my tank.

Plus, a little goes a long way, making it a cost-effective solution. Highly recommend this conditioner to any aquarium owner looking for a simple way to improve water quality and overall tank health!

This stuff is great. It does everything it says it does. I have an Axolotl so I have to be so careful with his water changes. This stuff really lives up to its name. I just use 2 drops per gallon and it’s all done. How simple is that. My water stays clear and my Axolotl is very healthy and happy. Also works very fast . Immediately actually..Update it’s been a straight month of me using this Prime. I want to add that I never cycled my tank. I found out that my local pet store had Axolotls and I read everything I could the night, before going the next morning to purchase my little guy. All I did was, whatever amount of water I took out I replaced. After each time I took feed my Axolotl I would wait about an hour. Then siphon out any poop he might have and if that meant a gallon, then I would add back a gallon. Sometimes it took 2 gallons. But I always used Prime. Plus I also used Stability. For a straight week. All of Seachem products are amazing. They are more expensive but so worth the money.All of the pitchers are of different times in the morning , this is how I know he’s hungry.

I've been using Prime for quite a while now and it seems to be working out for me. When I first started out with my tanks I was using "Jungle" water conditioner and it seemed to do it's job but I wanted something more "top of the line" if you will. I didn't make the switch because I thought the "Jungle" product was inferior but I just wanted the "best" for my fish. I started researching about the best water conditioner and everyone kept raving about "Prime" they would talk about how affordable it was and the benefits that came from using this product. It seemed like the best choice for me so I made the switch I did notice that the stuff is very strong and concentrated so it doesn't take much to treat your water. As far as dosing Prime you just need to follow the instructions on the back of the bottle. I'm usually careful when I dose with Prime because of it's potency so when I prepare my water in a 5 gallon bucket I usually dose 2 drops per gallon. The reason I do it this way is because I don't want to overdose on Prime I rather be safe than sorry. With that said when I first started dosing with Prime I would dose it straight into the bucket of water. Then I would siphon the water into my tank without letting the water age. I started noticing that every time after I did a water change my fish would start gulping for air at the surface. I started reading certain threads and some people stated that in some cases too much Prime can cause oxygen depletion. Seachem has stated that you can overdose Prime about 5x the recommended dosage and it still would be safe for fish. I personally wouldn't take the risk especially if you don't have proper aeration in your tank. I know most people will say that it doesn't matter if you let your water age or if you wait for the water conditioner to take effect (since it works instantly) and they might be right but in my situation it seems to make a difference. I let my water age for about 24 hours and I sometimes even dose the water before letting it age. I also give the water a little stir just to make sure everything is mixed up well I'm not sure if it helps but I do it regardless. I've noticed that after doing all of the above my fish don't gasp for air anymore and they don't seem to be bothered at all by weekly water changes. The only downside to my method would be that the agents that lock down ammonia, nitrites and nitrates to something less toxic wouldn't really be taking effect. These locking agents stop working after 24 hours or 48 hours depending on how much you dose. I'm not too worried about it though because I keep my tanks fairly clean and I methodically keep up with my water changes. Be warned that Prime does not get rid of ammonia, nitrites or nitrates for good it just converts it to something less toxic which then allows your biological filtration to clean it up for a short period of time. Like I stated before Prime only takes effect for a brief moment and once it stops working the toxins that were locked down are released back into your water. That's where regular water changes come into play having clean water and using Prime in conjunction will definitely work to your advantage. I would say that in laymen terms Prime is a good water dechlorinator that happens to come with a few extra's. Would I say it's worth making the switch? I wouldn't really be able to answer that question because there are a lot of great products out in the market that work similar if not the same as Prime. I would however say that from a personal stand point Prime is a great product and it works very well and if used correctly it can be very effective and affordable at the same time.

Former water utility employee here. If your city uses chloramines to disinfect the water, you need this conditioner. Most freshwater conditioners will remove chlorine, but they can't break the strong chloramine bond of ammonia + chlorine used by many water utilities. Check with your water department if you are unsure what they use to disinfect your drinking water. Prime works quickly to make your water safe for tropical fish.

Works well, as expected and reputed. Prepares water for aquatic life very thoroughly and economically. Best product of the sort

Always tried and true. I have used this for years on my marine tank. I have fish only, just do weekly water changes. I have fairly expensive salt water fish. I do water changes weekly and dose with Prime, regular tap water. I also dose the tank, once a week prior to water changes. I've never lost a fish in 5 years with ammonia or nitrate, build up and I have clown fish and other delicate salt water fish.

Works good & great price.

Glad to find a smaller size. Great product
