Safe, 250 g / 8.8 oz

I was originally using Seachem Prime to treat my aquarium water and then reading some forums I discovered Safe and decided to do some research on this. It's essentially the same product as Prime just in dry powdered form and more concentrated so you save money in the long run. This product should last me years even with weekly water changes.I have a 30 gallon tank so whenever I do a water change I usually siphon out about 15% of my water. I then put the dose of Safe into my tank as my bucket isn't very large. If you are changing water in a larger tank, you can also treat each individual bucket as you want but I find it easier to just dose the entire tank and then start adding in the new water after making sure it is the same temperature as the water in my tank. This is especially true if you are using a siphon that hooks up to your sink or hose for quick water changes.I follow the instructions from Seachem's website:Directions for all other sizes (this is different if you buy the 50g or 100g sizes!)Use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) for every 1,250 L (300 gallons) as needed to reduce chlorine and chloramine or use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) for every 300 L (75 gallons) for ammonia.Since my tank is only 30 gallons I use (1/10) of that dose to treat the entire tank. That ends up being 1/40 of a teaspoon so I had to buy some smaller measuring spoons. I use 1/32 of a teaspoon and have seen no ill effects with using this slightly higher dose as you would be using more for ammonia anyways.I've been using Prime for years and now been using Safe for over a month and have had no issues with my fish and chlorine and they seem very happy and healthy. You can also double or triple this dose in an emergency if you and need to quickly detoxify nitrites and nitrates.

For years I was using SeaChem Prime to treat the tap water for my aquariums. Then I discovered Safe, which is the exact same chemical as Prime, but the per gallon treatment is much less expensive!Weigh out 50 grams of Safe powder to 1000mL of water, mix the two together well. That makes Prime using Safe. 1mL of mixture dechlorinates 10 gallons of water. You can easily put this mixture in a Prime bottle and use the bottle cap to measure like always!FYI 3 drops from a dropper bottle treats one gallon of water. I use a cleaned out reagent dropper bottle from an API water test kit for that purpose. Works great for small volume water changes💦.

"Everyone likes the smell of their own brand"

This stuff works really well coming out of winter or until water stabilizes in the spring.This item should have an aluminum seal over the entire top and be completely sealed. Do not use this if it is not sealed. I have read about many fish deaths from this. I have been using this item for 25 years with not a single fish death from the product itself. I would also not buy this from a 3rd party. Either buy it from Amazon and sold by Amazon or through a reputable fish store or pond shop. This item should also smell bad like rotten eggs or sulfur.

Works like prime, but at a fraction of the cost.

I started out in the fishkeeping hobby using Stress Coat. For reasons of economy and effectiveness, I switched to Seachem's Prime, a much more concentrated product. Safe is the concentrated form of Prime. The jar I bought will treat up to 50,000 gallons of water. That might sound like a lot, but if you have multiple tanks like I do, you can go through it quicker than you think.Safe is easy to use and it seems to be very effective. The price may seem a bit high compared to a comparable size bottle of other water treatment, but when you look at the cost/gallon, there is no comparison, Prime wins hands down over any of the liquids I looked at and Safe is even more cost effective than Prime.The only negatives about using Safe versus Prime was trying to figure out the dosing and then finding a measure small enough to measure it. Prime came with pretty straight forward instructions. Safe's dosing is based on how much chlorine, chloramine and/or ammonia is in your water. I just treat for an "average" amount of chloramine and that seems to work out pretty well. Seachem's technical support is amazing. If you can't find the answer to your problem in the forums, just write to them and they are extremely responsive. I bought a large size of this product. For some reason, Seachem thinks if you buy the large size you don't need a dosing spoon and doesn't include one. However, I wrote to them and they sent a spoon to me, no charge.I treat for the full tank volume whenever I make a water change. I use one "measure" (the spoon they sent) per 20 gallons.

This product helps keep my water clarity clean, treats the water so my fist stays healthy and safe, and the functionality of this product is easy to use. Just follow directions on back and you’re good to go.

I got a 30 liters (8.5 ish Gallon) Betta fish tank. According to Seachem dosage instructions, I would need roughly around 30 mg of powder (0.02-0.03 ml).As the dose is too small, I ended up using a LEGO antenna as my "micro measuring spoon" (Antenna Whip 8H). I used an online calculator to calculate the amount of volume of the antenna base (diameter and depth = approximately 4.8 x1.2 mm) and It turns out roughly over 0.02 ml. Which is a close amount to the dose required for my tank (I think!).I already used it few times for my weekly water change, and all seems to be going well so far. However, if you do try this, please monitor your fish for the next few hours for any unusual behaviour just to be safe.Looks like I won't need to buy any other bottle of water conditioner for a very very long time!As shown in the photo, I heated up the antenna with a lighter and bent it to make it easier to scoop the powder. Just push it in and move it till it hits the side of the bottle to make sure it fills up the base properly. I tried to scoop as you would normally do with a spoon, but it just didn't fill up completely.
