Prime is essentially sodium thiosulfate right?A good time to remind folks to not always (ever???) accept hobby vendor claims without verification. Many are misleading or simply wrong. Maybe reefers should follow Ronald Reagan's old advice: trust but verify.
You're statement reflects the Seachem claim. Seachem has a historically mixed and rapidly falling record on understanding chemistry of their own products (IMO). Seachem Aquavitro Balance is a perfect case in point where they either are ignorant of their own product attributes (it obviously is an alk supplement despite the claims that it is not), or simply don't care to be accurate.
Careful testing by folks on this forum suggest that the Prime claim may not be accurate, and Seachem has never provided evidence of effect, or any plausible mechanism, despite being challenged by chemists for many years as to whether and how it works.
