Seachem Prime is a highly concentrated, complete water conditioner that instantly removes chlorine and chloramines while temporarily detoxifying ammonia, nitrite, and heavy metals in both freshwater and marine aquariums. It is widely considered an industry-standard emergency tool and water preparer due to its high efficiency and safety margin.
Core Chemical Functions
Removes Chlorine and Chloramine: Instantly breaks the strong chemical bond between chlorine and ammonia, destroying the chlorine and binding the remaining toxic ammonia into a safe form.
Detoxifies Ammonia and Nitrite: Converts toxic free ammonia and nitrite into a non-toxic, complexed form (ammonium/bound nitrite) for up to 24–48 hours. This allows your tank’s biological filter to safely consume them without stressing the livestock.
Detoxifies Heavy Metals: Instantly chelates typical heavy metals found in tap water (such as copper, lead, and zinc), rendering them completely harmless to sensitive invertebrates and fish.
Promotes Slime Coat Production: Stimulates the natural secretion and regeneration of the fish's protective slime coat rather than relying on artificial topical polymers.
