I just got the new issue of Tropical Fish Hobbyist today and they have started doing a monthly article about some of the companies that produce products for the hobby. This month it was for Seachem.
Now, obviously this "article" is a bit of advertising, but it had some interesting stuff.
Did you guys know EVERY seachem employee has their own tank at WORK?
Anyway, the article also mentioned they have a new line of "premium" products called Aquavitro that I had never heard of. There is a new water conditioner they make called alpha as part of this line.
It is marketed for SW tanks but apparently it is perfectly safe for freshwater.
A "capful" of Prime (5ml) will treat 50 gallons (I'm not taking into account actual chlorine/chloramine/ammonia treatment amounts here, there's another thread on here that goes into much more detail on that). The same amount of alpha will treat 75 gallons.

They also throw out some impressive performance numbers that I have no idea how to evaluate whether they are true or not. Apparently it's "50% more active than Prime."
So, as usual, I'm just going to post this info and let the rest of you discuss it, as I should be doing actual homework instead of researching water conditioners. I thought it was interesting because I haven't heard of it or seen it at all and I use Prime, as I think most of us around here do.
