Seachem Laboratories Prime Ammonia Detoxifier 500 ml 16.9-oz

Seachem Prime Ammonia Detoxifier is a highly effective water conditioner designed for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. This powerful solution is up to five times more concentrated than many competing products, making it a top choice for aquarium enthusiasts. It efficiently removes chlorine and chloramine from your water and detoxifies harmful substances like ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, which can be particularly crucial during tank cycling. With Seachem Prime, your aquatic environment stays safe and healthy as it converts these toxic compounds into a non-toxic form that your biofilter can easily process.

Seachem Prime Ammonia Detoxifier not only helps keep your fish tank water clean but also supports a thriving biological filtration system. Though the product has a distinct sulfur odor due to its formulation, it's completely normal and doesn't affect its effectiveness. For emergencies or high chloramine concentrations, you can safely use a double dose or up to five times the usual dose for nitrite toxicity after consulting a veterinarian who specializes in aquatic animals.
