I'll do you one better. Pond Prime is sold under the company name Water Garden Oasis. Water Garden Oasis is a Seachem company. It even says so on the label. With Pond Prime, 1 capful treats 100 gallons!

go with the pond stuff. more for less is always better. there are a lot of chemicals you can get for ponds that are cheaper and can be used in aquariums.

As previously mentioned, pond prime and prime are the exact same formula and the exact same concentrations. Pond prime treats more water per dose because there is a larger surface area to volume ratio in ponds.

If you use pond prime in an aquarium, you need to use the regular prime dose (5mL/50gallons).

I thought someone just said you have to use the same and the only difference is the surface area evap?

Thank you and Thank you, for a second I thought my post wasn't showing up.
 
it's the seachem safe where the real bang for your buck happens. powder form, treats a buttload more than liquid prime does when compared at cost per gallons.

unfortunately i can't find safe anywhere near me, only regular prime.

nonetheless, prime is amazing and much more affordable than the other products on the market in general.

only thing i found was, since i'm allergic to sulphur, i got rashes on my arms from water changes and maintenance, but after using it for approx 1 yr now, i haven't had any allergic reactions since possibly the first 2 months of using it. go go human adaptability. i still wouldn't try drinking the stuff :P

the smell is a little rotten eggy, but it clears the air very quickly.
 
Ok so how do you guys add it? To the tank before adding water for full tank size? A small amount in each bucket? Afterwards? I get paranoid and add a little to each bucket
