Is it just me or does Prime stink?

Is there any other product out there that does a better job…
I use prime and think it is great… 5ml for 200lts, and it attacks ammonia as well.

When I go to the LFS and they are out of prime...I wait to change water....

hikari ultimate is just as good as prime... its not sulfer based can be dosed 10x the tank volume but a bottle doesnt last as long as prime... i switched back to prime because it lasts longer...

How much is prime?

I feel like bad now.

How could it be as good if it doesn't smell worse?

I use Amquel+. I assume its similar to Prime (removes chlorine, chloramines, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates). got some on my shirt, and I thought I had some ripe B.O. It took me a week to figure out why my hands would smell sometimes and my cabinet smelled all the time.
