Is Seachem Prime THAT Good?

[CCXGT]

Just reading reviews for it and I'm hearing nothing but good things about it.
I do have one question though, is it a tap water conditioner? I'm a tad confused since I'm finding it hard to believe its SO efficient.

If what it's claiming is true then it'll work out 5x as efficient as my current conditioner.

I see we can get that UK side of the pond too. My next purchase I think. £17 for 500ml on Amazon.

If you want to save loads of money buy pond prime it's the exact same but much cheaper

Lots of videos on you tube state it's the same

that sounds very expensive.
have you looked at MarineDepot.com, they have 2 liters for $46, I think that is about ten bps more than the amount you would be paying, (not sure about the $$ conversion,) so definitely a better buy.
Seachem Laboratories Prime

and they do ship internationally, but be sure to read the fine print about taxes and shipping charges.

Cheers. I'll check that out. I suspect it isn't made in the uk at all, hence the inflated cost.

Not the most reliable source of information.

I would advise against pond prime. 2 tablespoons or 15mL for 600g

Each mL of pond prime detoxifies about 23g of water.

Imho it's just too easy to overdose.

 

[Camescu]

Had a look. Gonna have to pass on that one.

Prime 500ml @ $11.99
Shipping @ $107.

Why would you advice against it when even seachem state it's the same

I only mentioned you tube because it's a easy place to find the info you need without going throw 100000 of google listings before you find what you want

If seachem states that it's the same why not lead with that?

I believe I stated exactly why I would advise against it

Come on guys do you think I would have put thousands of ££££$$$$ of fish at risk without doing some research on pond prime first

At one point I was treating 1000 gal of water per week with pond prime for over 5 years with no issues

You can't overdose with prime that's why you can add a triple dose in a emergency

I can understand it, shipping liquid from the US to the UK.
but $107 still sounds high.
