Prime

Seachem Prime is a highly concentrated, comprehensive water conditioner designed for both freshwater and marine aquariums. Known as a "gold standard" in the hobby, it goes beyond basic dechlorinators by offering a multi-layered defense against toxic water conditions.


Key Benefits

  • Complete Detoxification: Instantly removes chlorine and chloramine from municipal tap water.

  • Binds Ammonia & Nitrite: Unlike standard conditioners, Prime contains a binder that renders ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate non-toxic for up to 48 hours. This allows your aquarium's biofilter to safely process these toxins without harming your fish.

  • Heavy Metal Removal: Detoxifies heavy metals typically found in tap water at standard concentrations.

  • Slime Coat Protection: Promotes the natural production and restoration of a fish's protective slime coat rather than relying on artificial compounds.

  • Concentrated Efficiency: Up to 5x more concentrated than competing products. A single 100 mL bottle treats 1,000 US gallons.


Why Choose Seachem Prime?

  • Safe for Reefs: It is non-acidic, will not impact pH, and won't over-activate protein skimmers.

  • Emergency Use: During toxic spikes, it can be safely dosed at up to 5x the standard amount to protect livestock.

  • Ideal for Tank Cycling: Helps keep fish safe during the critical initial phases of setting up a new tank.


Quick Dosing Info

  • Standard Dose: 5 mL (one capful) per 50 US gallons (200 L) of new water.

  • Note: A distinct sulfur odor is normal and a byproduct of the active reducing agents.

    Order Cancellations

    Any order containing both live fish and dry goods will be automatically canceled and refunded. You will then need to place two distinct orders to proceed.


    Shipping Methods

    • Live Fish: Shipped via UPS Next Day Air, UPS Next Day Air Early, UPS Next Day Air Saver, USPS Priority Mail Express to minimize transit time.
