I only notice the smell when I open the bottle, the smell should not infiltrate the house or your tank. You are probably using too much. Following the directions, it takes very little Prime to condition the water.
when i open the bottle i don't smell it .. when i open the lid and smell the tank... omg.......killer
What does it smell like? Prime tends to smell like rotten eggs or sulphur. I smell it when opening the bottle but never after that.
Yeah no worries just follow the exact instructions for how much to use. To give you an idea. I use less than half a capful for a 5 gallon bucket. It doesn't seem like enough but remember prime is very concentrated (as you can tell by the smell haha). So yeah save your money and just use a tiny bit
That's even more than I use. I do about 80% wc's on my 150 and only use 2 capfuls. I believe 1 capful is enough to dechlorinate 50g but I'm not home so I can't check the bottle. I'm pretty sure that's what I read though and it doesn't make my tank smell at all

Sure its the Prime? Do you feed Hikari foods like Massivore, Sinking Carnivore pellets or Floating Food Sticks? Ive had these products cause a stench to the water but never Prime.
