Mixing up prime?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The info I posted about premixing Safe, came from the head chemist & CEO of Seachem, Dr. Greg Morin.
 
guess my question is why mix it up?
 
I use safe on a 10g tank, put a little pinch in and done. add water.
 
is it probably more than needed? sure, is it going to hurt the fish, I do not think so or be dead years ago.
 
The main risk of overdosing with Safe, or Prime, is 02 depletion. Obviously the result of overdosing will depend on each persons system based on numerous factors, such as water temp, pH, bioload, 02 levels prior and during water change, duration of water change, etc - along with how large of an overdose occurred - based on each individuals local water.

Impossible to sit on the sidelines from afar and guesstimate what the results will be with each member on this forum. Always best to crunch the numbers, and measure out an accurate amount for your personal needs based on your personal tanks. Nothing dramatic about using common sense.
 
I got no argument with that, just not breaking out the calculator and the note pad when common sense well suffice.
