What would you guys say for just using in general water changes. Sorry if I rehashed an old thread but want to see some new feedback
 
Prime most of the time but have strayed in the past if I find a special on another brand. Never had a problem whatsoever with other water conditioners.
 
I used to use stresscoat, but I switched to prime. It's a bit less expensive.
 
Pond Prime is 10 times as concentrated as Stress Coat, and also reduces nitrate. Stress Coat is a waste of money.

I don't trust anything that claims that to work. All I look at is if it removes chloramines and chlorine. Other than that I ignore it lol
 
I've been medicating with stress coat and melafix, but I'm still using Prime to dechlor the water. Is this okay????
