Seachem Pond Prime® – Complete and concentrated conditioner for decorative ponds. Removes chlorine, chloramine, detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. 5X more concentrated than competing products. Overview Pond Prime® is a complete conditioner that removes chlorine, chloramine, and detoxifies ammonia and nitrite. It also provides essential ions and stimulates natural slime coat. Pond Prime® also enhances nitrate removal. It will also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. It should be the first choice conditioner when setting up a new pond, adding, or changing water. No other product is required to make water safe, even in high chloramine situations. Unlike competing products, Pond Prime® does not cause a pH drop or over-activate skimmers. A 500 mL bottle treats over 10,000 US gallons, much more than competing products. Directions Use 1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) for each 600-700 US gallons for removing chlorine or chloramine. To detoxify high concentrations of ammonia or nitrite, use 1/4 to 1/2 cup for each 600 gallons. Sulfur odor is normal. For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely. To detoxify nitrite in an emergency, up to 5 times normal dose may be used. If temperature is > 30 °C (86 °F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, use a half dose.
