ichthus Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I use Prime. Not regularly though. It can be used as a de-chlorinator, but I do not use it regularly in that way. However, when I have been cycling tanks, or had mini-cycles, I have simply done extra water changes and used Prime to detoxify the ammonia and nitrites. I have found this very successful as a combination. I often recommend to people struggling with ammonia and nitrite "just do some extra water changes and use some Prime". I would be keen to test Seachem's "Stability" sometime as I have also heard good reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I have used the top four. Both flourishes work well same as Prime which i just add a dash of to every WC. Garlic guard is really just a flavor enhancing product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I use prime when regenerating my purigen to get rid of the chlorine. Also used it post quake when our water here had lots of chlorine in it. I've used flourish excel many years ago to kill BBA, but have resorted to using fish to control that kind of thing now. I still do use it whenever I trim back my plants as it does seem to make quite a difference to their growth and colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I use Flourish Excel - which is slowly working on my BBA and my plants are growing fast! I use a dosing pump as I'm notoriously forgetful Cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
