Prime removes chlorine, chloramine and\u003cbr\u003e\ndetoxifies ammonia. Prime converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic\u003cbr\u003e\nform that is readily removed by the tank’s biofilter. Prime\u003cbr\u003e\nmay be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia\/nitrite\u003cbr\u003e\ntoxicity. Prime detoxifies nitrite and nitrate, allowing the\u003cbr\u003e\nbiofilter to more efficiently remove them. It will also detoxify\u003cbr\u003e\nany heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration\u003cbr\u003e\nlevels. Prime is non-acidic and will not impact pH. Prime will not\u003cbr\u003e\noveractivate skimmers. Use at start-up and whenever adding or\u003cbr\u003e\nreplacing water.When transporting or quarantining fish, use Seachem StressGuard.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen adding new fish, use Stability. Both are ideal for use with\u003cbr\u003e\nPrime.Nearly all companies manufacture a product that removes\u003cbr\u003e\nchlorine. None of those, however, can compare in quality,\u003cbr\u003e\nconcentration, or effectiveness to Seachem’s flagship\u003cbr\u003e\nproduct: Prime. Prime is the second most concentrated dechlorinator\u003cbr\u003e\non the market after our own aquavitro alpha. A single 100 mL bottle\u003cbr\u003e\nwill treat 1000 US gallons of tap water. Prime will remove both\u003cbr\u003e\nchlorine and chloramines from municipal water supplies.Prime also contains a binder which renders ammonia, nitrite, and\u003cbr\u003e\nnitrate non-toxic. It is very important to understand how those two\u003cbr\u003e\nfunctions work together. All dechlorinators operate through a\u003cbr\u003e\nchemical process known as reduction. In this process, toxic\u003cbr\u003e\ndissolved chlorine gas (Cl2) is converted into non-toxic chloride\u003cbr\u003e\nions (Cl-). The reduction process also breaks the bonds between\u003cbr\u003e\nchlorine and nitrogen atoms in the chloramine molecule (NH2Cl),\u003cbr\u003e\nfreeing the chlorine atoms and replacing them with hydrogen (H) to\u003cbr\u003e\ncreate ammonia (NH3).Typically, dechlorinators stop there, leaving an aquarium full\u003cbr\u003e\nof toxic ammonia! Seachem takes the necessary next step by\u003cbr\u003e\nincluding an ammonia binder to detoxify the ammonia produced in the\u003cbr\u003e\nreduction process.Be very careful when purchasing water conditioners. If your\u003cbr\u003e\nmunicipality includes chloramines in the water supplies, a standard\u003cbr\u003e\nsodium thiosulfate dechlorinator is not enough. Prime promotes the\u003cbr\u003e\nnatural production and restoration of the slime coat rather than\u003cbr\u003e\nrelying on artificial or non-native slime compounds. A further\u003cbr\u003e\nbonus for the reef hobbyist—Prime will not overactivate\u003cbr\u003e\nprotein skimmers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"u3man","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687433531735,"sku":"7999610","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/9925\/5895\/files\/7999610.jpg?v=1769982346","url":"https:\/\/u3man.be\/products\/seachem-prime-100ml","provider":"u3man.be","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
