I guess Seachem must have changed their concentration at some point, because I've seen this comment from several other people too. My bottle of Prime says exactly what the Seachem Prime website says (Seachem. Prime), which I quote here: Regarding your comment about chloramine: Yes, I have max...

Hi all, My fish killing saga continues! This time I made a dwarf gourami and a nearly full grown angel get sick and die 4 days later. Again, I suspect it has something to do with a water change. - I changed 30% water - I had to leave the tank w/ 30% water gone and no filtration for about an...
