Seachem Prime Aquarium Water Conditioner 500ml – Your Go-To Solution for Clean, Safe Tank Water
 That’s where Seachem Prime Aquarium Water Conditioner 500ml is a trusted, high-powered treatment that keeps water safe in both freshwater and saltwater setups. Tap water can be full of heavy metals and chlorine your fish don't thrive in, and Prime helps eliminate unsafe water parameters. Whether you're doing a quick top-off or a full water change, this aquarium water conditioner handles the heavy lifting.
Why Seachem Prime Aquarium Water Conditioner Is a Hobbyist Favorite
Some water conditioners just neutralize chlorine. Prime? It goes further. It also detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate—without messing up your pH or triggering a protein skimmer foam party. It's concentrated, effective, and built for real-world aquarists who don’t want surprises in their tank.
What sets Seachem Prime apart:
-
Removes chlorine and chloramine from tap water
-
Detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate
-
Won’t alter your tank’s pH or hardness
-
Safe for freshwater, saltwater, and reef tanks
-
Skimmer-safe for sensitive reef systems
-
Supports biological filtration by binding harmful compounds
