So is Prime the only thing you put in your tank? Would I still need the Fluval Biological Enhancer and API stress coat?

Nope, just Prime and plenty of water changes.

Yeah, prime is what I use now because everyone's said how good it was, but I used to just buy whatever dechlorinator was handy and they all were fine.

Do you use anything else or just Prime?

Prime in all my tanks, but One tank (5g betta tank) I use tetra aquasafe plus. Only because it seems to be better for my veiltail. Use to use prime for his tank, but found that aquasafe has a little more to add to the slim coat and less stress for my one betta.

I was told that aquasafe plus was also a good product to use besides prime. I found some rocks outside to use for my aquascape (I did clean them) which do you think would help more with taking care of the water with the rocks in there... Aquasafe or Prime?

Neither will do anything to the rocks?

They're both great products. But, I'd go with prime.
