I have never used Prime before. I have been using Stresscoat. I see that most people on here use Prime. Is there a really big difference in quality? I read up on Prime and it seems that if you use too much it could kill your fish. Is this correct?

prime is the best... ive been using it for 4 years no problem whatso ever..
the great thing is.. you only need 1 capful for 50 gallons.. other brands is like 1 cap for 10 or even 5 gallons...

I have only used prime for the past 5 years. Best stuff on earth IMO. I guess if you dump in the whole bottle you could kill your fish but besides that you can add 5x the recommended dose w/o any harm.
Yes, more concentrated, so it lasts longer. Also it can be used to neutralize ammonia and nitrates etc. You can overdose a little and there will be no harm. Ive never heard of prime killing your fish.
Prime is pretty good, although I always have to dose extra because it's hard to get the exact amount of prime I need(extremely concentrated), and I don't want to dose too little by accident.
Been using prime for 6 months. Stuff lasts forever. I do a 25% - 30% WC every week. I usually add almost a full capful when I add the new water to make sure I put enough. Never seen any signs of stress or issues.
use the prime i have used enough for 1000 gallons on my pond when it only needed enough for 200 gallons and the fish were just fine.
