I don't know I you saw my quote about how the Seachem alert reads and doesnt read (Their words) toxic ammonia - this reads to me that the Seachem Alert badge is not the best way to do the test.:Yes, I've read the Seachem info saying the alert badge is suitable for measuring free ammonia when Prime is used.
Dan and others demonstrate it is not showing a change. Hence Dan's proper conclusion in the title of this thread.
Might the world be more complicated than we or Seachem understand? Certainly.
"If the Prime® has not complexed with the ammonia yet it will detect it, but it won't detect it if the Prime® has already complexed it (which makes sense because when Prime® has complexed with the ammonia it is no longer toxic). If you want to know the total ammonia level (free, ionized and complexed) you would need to run a Total Ammonia Test (like with our MultiTest Ammonia)"
Now - to me - this quote does not make complete sense. I just put it out as a suggestion as to why the Seachem alert badge is reading differently than what would expect.
