Prime Question

[johnson5585]

Thanks for all of the input guys. I have always used aqua safe and did not learn about prime until joining this forum. I will definitely be picking up a bottle when I go to the LFS next.

Awesome, it really is the best. Smell it to, smells good.

One last question. If used during water changes is this going to deprive the bacterias of their food supply or do they still consume the detoxified ammonia and nitrites? I am guessing it does not since so many people use it and wouldn't if it actually caused their biological filter to die but wanted to ask so that I fully understand the product.

Thanks again

If you are using Aquasafe, you are wasting your money. Prime is 5 times more potent. You'll use 5 times less. Optimus Prime thinks that Aquasafe sucks.

I have tested my water after using the prime and it does not seem to effect my API test kit. Readings are the same as before I used it.

i do get a false reading when i use prime but only for a day also prime does not starve bacteria of ammonia just converts it to a different form harmless to fish but eaten by bacteria

I use Prime DAILY, I love it, don't smell it, unless you like the smell of sulfur/eggs

Great product, used StressCoat for many years, but was tired of the foam it caused.

I do 50% daily changes on my 150-gallon and 22-gallon, use prime each time.

I am a little reluctant to switch to Prime because everyone says it smells like a giant fart.

how long does this odour last once you add it to your tank?

water instantly takes away the sulfur smell
