Prime removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia. Prime is the only product on the market that provides complete, concentrated protection for your fish in a single dose. Prime detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, preventing them from binding to the fish's hemoglobin. This allows the fish to excrete them rather than the nitrite and nitrate binding to the hemoglobin and suffocating the fish. Prime also promotes the production and regeneration of the slime coat on fish, protecting them from abrasions and toxins in the water. It also contains a natural source of vitamin B1 that aids in the healing and regeneration of damaged fish tissue. Prime is safe for use with all aquatic life and is effective in both fresh and saltwater aquariums. It is also safe for use with live plants and invertebrates. Prime is a must-have for any aquarium owner looking to provide the best possible care for their fish.
