It removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia. Prime makes tap water suitable for aquarium use, by eliminating chlorine and chloramine. It breaks down chloramine into ammonia, which is then detoxified by the product. It also detoxifies nitrites and nitrates. It's a neutral product that doesn't alter pH, and doesn't saturate seawater skimmers. It also stimulates mucus production for fish, boosting their immune defenses. Prime is a highly concentrated product, and therefore very economical.

Full details
Seachem Prime is a concentrated water conditioner designed for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. It's ideal for aquarium owners who need to remove chlorine, chloramine, and detoxify ammonia. A key benefit is its ability to make tap water safe for fish. Keep in mind that while it detoxifies, it doesn't completely remove all toxins; regular water changes are still necessary.
