Yeah, i never used them in a cycling tank but usually used seachem safe incase I put too much food just to be on the safer side, I honestly never thought of them just not working since brands can be sued for false advertising LolI believe these products do something. I know and have read all the things like the above and I am probably wrong ( ask my ex she knows how wrong I usually am). Lets just say it works, pretend. If it binds ammonia like prime says how does your bacteria use it? It cant. I would never use a product like this in a newly cycling tank.
Thank you, i thought Fritz ammonia remover was different than the conditioner LolThis is an informative thread about ammonia and prime:
How toxic is ammonia, really?
In the context of trying to understand why so many people believe Seachem Prime was useful for them in an elevated ammonia situation, against the data in the link below about Prime potentially doing nothing to free ammonia in seawater, the question arises, why...www.reef2reef.com
Like I said I believe it does something what it is or how it works no idea. I know like above I am probably wrong.Yeah, i never used them in a cycling tank but usually used seachem safe incase I put too much food just to be on the safer side, I honestly never thought of them just not working since brands can be sued for false advertising Lol
No, but incase I do have something like that in the future, i wanted to have a aid ready, since I have college, i don't think I have the stamina to come home and do a massive water change Lol, since i first began my fish keeping, I've had so many ammonia problems that now I can most likely just tell by smell if I have ammonia or not, pretty concerning yet pretty beneficial i guess? LolDo you believe that you currently have elevated ammonia?
OK, my answer would be I do not know, but it sounds exactly like a Prime knockoff (so similar in description that my expectation is that they licensed or somehow got it from Seachem) and I wouldn't have high expectations.No, but incase I do have something like that in the future, i wanted to have a aid ready, since I have college, i don't think I have the stamina to come home and do a massive water change Lol
Absolutely, I live in india, power outages are quite common here, i do have a inverter but it at times doesn't work due to my tanks taking high electricity.OK, my answer would be I do not know, but it sounds exactly like a Prime knockoff (so similar in description that my expectation is that they licensed or somehow got it from Seachem) and I wouldn't have high expectations.
That said, ammonia is rarely a problem in an operating reef tank, except perhaps in emergency situations suc h as a power failure where things are already dying.
I think our experience with the Boost pH+ claim of not affecting alkalinity maybe suggests that we cannot assume vendors know much about the products they sell nor have the technical expertise to challenge those claims.Thanks, taricha. Curious and perhaps reflective of the lack of independent thought in reef supply companies that the directions and wording of those directions so closely mimics Seachem.
