Seachem Prime Vs. Kordon Water Conditioners

[mkman]

I've used both Amquel and Prime......I going to stick with Prime because a smaller bottle can treat more gallons than the same size Amquel and its cheaper.

i prefer Amquel+ just for ammonia protection

I like red labels and transformers... If it's good enough to be named after Optimus, it's good enough for me!

I know they roughly do the same but I also like the fact that since it's concentrated it takes up less room under your tank.

i use api conditioner a gallon is 30 bucks and it's cheeper then prime when comparing treated gallons to cost, it works just as well and it doesnt smell like rotten eggs

i posted something comparing prices to gallons treated but i cant remember the name of the thread

I use Novaqua because it doesn't sequester Nitrite or Nitrates as I run heavily planted most of the time and removing those means adding more chems.

But between amquel and prime, Prime is the better choice. More concentrated, lasts longer per purchase.

my city water is very bad for chemicals. When I kept fish awhile back and would do water changes I would lose fish. When I switched to Prime .. never lost a fish to water changes.

Prime man here

How many gallons of tanks do you have in total Tcarswell? I over-dose Prime and I think my 250mL bottle will last quite awhile (125g).

I double dose (there are occasional water ammonia spikes in my tap) and I have 6 tanks currently. Because my tap water has 20-40 ppm nitrate from the tap I also do two 50% water changes a week on each tank.

Hmmm...

6 tanks + 50% wc on each twice a week = you poor bastard

Hmmm...

6 tanks + 50% wc on each twice a week = you poor bastard

prime is best, imo
1 ml prime treats 10 gallons
amquel
5 ml treats 10 gallons.
