Directions for Use

Why Use Seachem Prime?
Tap water often contains chlorine or chloramine that must be neutralized before it is safe for aquarium livestock. Seachem Prime quickly conditions tap water, making it useful for every water change and new aquarium setup.
Prime is also popular because it can temporarily detoxify ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, giving aquarium keepers extra support during cycling, stocking changes, shipping stress, or unexpected water-quality problems.
Important Use Notes
- Always dose according to aquarium size and product directions.
- Use a water test kit to monitor ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and pH.
- Prime temporarily detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate but does not replace water changes or biological filtration.
- Maintain proper filtration and regular aquarium maintenance for long-term water quality.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
