==== Our Review ====

{{stars>5/5}}

All water conditioners are NOT created equal. Over the years I have used many water conditioners, some seemed to work better than others, but nothing compares to Seachem Prime. As more and more municipalities are using [[snippets:chloramine|cloramine]] instead of [[snippets:chlorine|chlorine]], the importance of conditioning the water has never been more urgent. I know this is a debated topic among fish keepers, but I trust my experience and the science of Seachem products. 

Once I started using a double dose of Seachem Prime on my tap water, it eliminated the 'positive ammonia' reading. It made the water safe immediately, despite levels of [[snippets:chloramine|chloramine]] that are confirmed to be present in Edmonton tap water. No other conditioner I've tried has been able to effectively remove the [[snippets:chloramine|chloramine]] even at higher doses.

For me, this fact alone means that Seachem Prime is my go-to water conditioner, and will be for the foreseeable future.

==== From The Manufacturer ====

//Nearly all pet aquatics companies manufacture a product that removes chlorine. None of those, however, can compare in quality, concentration, or effectiveness to Seachem’s flagship product: Prime®. Prime® is the complete and concentrated conditioner for both fresh and saltwater. Prime® removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. It is non-acidic and will not impact pH. A further bonus for the reef hobbyist—Prime® will not over-activate skimmers.//

<typo fs:x-large>
Prime® is up to 5x more concentrated than competing products and is the second most concentrated dechlorinator on the market only after our own aquavitro® alpha™.
</typo>

//Prime® may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity. It contains a binder which renders ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate non-toxic, allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. It will also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. Use at start-up and whenever adding or replacing water.//
