Is that Pond Prime, or regular Prime?
 
That is regular Prime, not Pond Prime, 2L.

It does not matter. It's the same concentration, actually. Check with SeaChem ;)

The only thing that matters is Cost$$$$. If the 2L Prime is 25.99 and the 2L Pond Prime is 45.00, then there's something that does matter, lol. If both are the same concentration, then I'd definitely do the regular Prime, 2L.

Safe at $8.99 will treat the same amount of tap and won't stink as much!;)
"Safe" meaning Aquasafe ?
For the same 2 litre size ??
Personally don't care for it. Cheaper is not always better.
Sorry, die hard Prime fan here.

Regular, they don't list a "pond" version in the pond supplies tab.
Not sure on the concentration differences between the 2, but for twice the cost, "pond" better be able to cover 200g's per capful.

Safe is the dry or powder version Of Prime. The 250 gram bottle is $ 8.99. Physically it's a bottle that's less 1/5 the size of the 2 liter bottle. The product itself is cheaper and because of the smaller/lighter physical size will cost less to ship too!

Some folks dissolve the powder with 2 litres of distilled water to make it like a 2 liter bottle of Prime. The Safe bottle of 250 grams comes with a tiny scoop for treating 20 gallons of tap. I just use the scoop to treat my water in 50 gallon drums. If you dilute it, it will stink just like Prime. The following is a link to one online retailer of Safe. Personally I buy mine from the FloridaTropical Fish Farm Association.

Not Aquasafe. Safe is the actual ingredient in Prime. Both Prime and Safe are manufatured by Seachem.

If you want to spend more for basically the same thing that's your prerogative.:naughty:
