Question 1

How often should I use Seachem Prime?

Accepted Answer

We recommend using Seachem Prime with every water change to ensure the tap water introduced is safe for your aquarium inhabitants. It can also be used daily in emergency situations to detoxify ammonia and nitrite, or when adding new fish to help manage their slime coat.

Question 2

Can Seachem Prime be used in a new aquarium setup or during cycling?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Seachem Prime is highly recommended for new setups. It safely neutralises chlorine and chloramine from tap water, which can harm beneficial bacteria essential for cycling. It also detoxifies ammonia and nitrite, providing a crucial safety buffer whilst your biological filter establishes.

Question 3

Does Seachem Prime remove medication from aquarium water?

Accepted Answer

No, Seachem Prime does not remove medications from aquarium water. Its primary function is to detoxify harmful substances like chlorine, chloramine, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. If you need to remove medication, a carbon filter media would be more appropriate after treatment.

Question 4

How long does Seachem Prime last in the bottle?

Accepted Answer

When stored correctly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, Seachem Prime typically has a shelf life of several years. Its concentrated formula means you'll likely use the bottle long before it expires.

Question 5

Is Seachem Prime safe for invertebrates and corals in reef tanks?

Accepted Answer

Our testing and user feedback confirm that Seachem Prime is safe for use in reef aquariums, including invertebrates and corals, when used at the recommended dosage. It does not harm beneficial bacteria or sensitive reef inhabitants.

Question 6

What makes Seachem Prime different from basic chlorine removers?

Accepted Answer

Unlike basic chlorine removers, Seachem Prime offers a much broader spectrum of protection. It detoxifies chlorine and chloramine, but also binds ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate for up to 48 hours, supports the fish's slime coat, and is safe for biofilters. Its high concentration also means it is significantly more cost-effective per litre treated.

Question 7

What is the correct dosage for Seachem Prime?

Accepted Answer

The standard dosage is 1 capful (5 ml) per 200 litres (40 gallons) of water. For specific situations, such as high chloramine levels or emergency detoxifying, consult the product packaging or Seachem's official guides for adjusted dosing. Always dose based on the volume of water being treated or added.
