Stresscoat or Prime?

[Crawdaddy]

Have been wondering about the differences between stress coat and prime. Doing a little bit of research, people claim that they do not have to use nearly as much Prime as the do the Stress coat. I was looking for everybody else's opinion on this. It seems that I use a lot of the stress coat, and if the Prime is better and I don't have to use as much.....common sense says switch to Prime. What do y'all think?

Prime. Since I switched to prime, I've only used one bottle in maybe 3 months. When I used tetra I was using a Big bottle a month. I've never used stress coat but in comparison to tetra, prime takes the cake!

Prime all the way, as with most Seachem products.

Seachem has an even more concentrated dry product called Safe.

If you are looking for economical water conditioning and not concerned about nitrogenous waste related issues you could just get some sodium thiosulfate crystals and make your own dechlor. $10 worth should last you the next decade.

The process is the same as treating with any water dechlorinator.
