So a 35% change on 55 gal. tank, takes 1/4 cap? Sounds too good to be true.** A: Per Seachem's instructions, if you are doing a partial water change of 35%, if you are adding water directly from the tap (such as with a water changer such as a Python or Aqueon) you add enough Prime for the volume of the whole tank. On the other hand, if you're removing 35% and then adding the water using a bucket, you can dechlorinate the amount of each bucket. For example, if you're using a 3 gallon bucket, 6 drops Prime per bucket, and then add that to the tank. The Prime works almost immediately, so just add the drops to the bucket, and then it is ready to pour into your tank. **Q: How long does it take to work when setting up a new tank? Thanks!!** A: this removes the chlorine, etc. almost immediately, I add it to the aquarium when doing water changes, ands just pour the water into the tank. remember this just removes the harmful chemicals, your tank will still have to cycle through the nitrogen cycle if you are setting up a new tank. **Q: I end up with alot of foam at the top of my aquariums when I add prime,Have I added too much to my tap water changes,My Tap water is high in iron** A: The small bottle of prime has a flip cap which allows you to add drops. If you have the large bottle of Prime use an eye dropper. When doing a water change, fill a clean, never seen soap or chemicals bucket of fresh water and add Prime to this fresh water, not directly into your tank - 2 drops per gallon. I also do not get foam. I do a 50 - 60 percent water change weekly along with a gravel vac. If you are stll getting foam after a gravel vac and water change I would suggest you give Seachem a call. They have great customer service. When cleaning your tank, give your filter sponge, floss a swish around in used tank water also to remove some of the gunk and put right back in. Do not rinse in untreated fresh water, by doing so you can lose your cycle. **Q: I'm looking to remove chlorine from my pool, will this work?** A: It will work but there may be less expensive options from a pool dealer. It decholorinates any typerson of water. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 20+ Years of Flawless Performance! *by on Reviewed in the United States May 29, 2025* As someone who's been deeply involved in the aquarium hobby for over two decades, I can confidently say that Seachem Prime is, without a doubt, the single most essential product in my fish room. I was introduced to Prime when I first started out, and it quickly became the cornerstone of my water care routine. Twenty-plus years later, it remains the only water conditioner I trust and use in all my tanks.Prime does exactly what it promises, and it does it exceptionally well. It instantly neutralizes chlorine, chloramine, and ammonia, making tap water safe for your aquatic inhabitants. Beyond that, it detoxifies nitrite and nitrate, which is a huge bonus, especially during cycling or in emergency situations. The fact that it does all of this in a concentrated formula means a little goes a very long way, making the 1L bottle incredibly economical and long-lasting.What truly sets Prime apart, for me, is its reliability and the peace of mind it provides. I've never had a single issue with water parameters or fish health that could be attributed to Prime. It's truly a "set it and forget it" product that allows me to focus on the joy of the hobby rather than worrying about water quality.If you're new to the hobby, do yourself a favor and start with Prime. If you're a seasoned aquarist looking for the best, you already know what I'm talking about. I exclusively use Seachem products in my tanks because their quality and effectiveness are unmatched, and Prime is the shining star of their lineup. This isn't just a water conditioner; it's an investment in the health and longevity of your aquatic ecosystem. Five stars, hands down! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple and Effective Dechlorinator *by on Reviewed in the United States August 13, 2026* I use Seachem Prime whenever I do water changes for my aquarium. It is very concentrated, so only a small amount is needed each time, and one bottle lasts quite a while.It works well as a dechlorinator, so I do not need to let tap water sit in advance before adding it to the tank. This makes regular water changes much more convenient. I also like that it treats both chlorine and chloramine.Overall, it is a simple, reliable, and economical water conditioner for regular aquarium maintenance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Concentrated and Bottle Lasts a Long Time *by on Reviewed in the United States July 10, 2026* I've been using Seachem Prime for a couple of years in both our school aquatics system and my own freshwater aquariums, and it has become my go-to water conditioner. This 500 mL bottle lasts a long time. It treats over 5,000 gallons of water, so even with regular water changes, it takes quite a while to use up. I measure the correct amount with a pipette for my 36-gallon and 15-gallon tanks, while our school's aquaponics system holds over 600 gallons, so we simply add the appropriate dose whenever we refill the system.We primarily use Prime to remove chlorine and chloramines from tap water, but we've also relied on it during times when ammonia levels began to rise. For larger tanks, one capful treats up to 50 gallons, while our smaller 10 and 20 gallon classroom tanks only require two drops per gallon. The liquid does have a slight sulfur-like smell in the bottle, but it quickly disappears once it's added to the water.Over the years, our water testing has consistently shown safe water conditions after treatment, and it has been a dependable part of maintaining healthy aquariums and our aquaponics system. Overall, this is an easy-to-use, highly concentrated water conditioner that goes a long way and has worked very well for both my home and classroom tanks. ## Frequently Bought Together - Seachem Prime Fresh and Saltwater Conditioner - Chemical Remover and Detoxifier 500 ml - Seachem Stability Fish Tank Stabilizer - For Freshwater and Marine Aquariums, 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT 800-Test Freshwater Aquarium Water Master Test Kit, White, Single, Multi-colored --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2334258-seachem-prime-500-ml-17-fl-oz-chemical-remover-detoxifier](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2334258-seachem-prime-500-ml-17-fl-oz-chemical-remover-detoxifier) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
