What water conditioner should I be using?

[Sime76]

I've got a couple of tanks that have South American fish, no Discus though :oops: . 1 is heavily planted with apistos couple of angels, pencil fish, and tetras. The other is soon to have a couple of apisto in it but not planted. I have always used the standard aquasonic blue conditioning crystals. I am starting to think that this may be the wrong stuff to use. I'm pretty sure Discus requires the same water conditions as the fish I have. So was wondering if I could get some advise on what I should be using.

Thanks

Sime

Ever since I switched to Prime ( from Seachem ) I have noticed MAJOR changes in the stability of all of my aquariums.

Fishpimpin, don't forget to mention prime ;)

I was converted by the Seachem rep at last years ACA convention.

We were talking about some of the issues that I had been having, and he reccomended trying Prime out.
He even gave me a 16oz bottle ( along with several other products to sample ), and gauranteed that I would notice a distinct difference in my water quality.

I have been using it ever since, and my fish have never been happier.

How mcuh is prime ? anyone know the location in Melb Eastern suburbs where you can get it cheap.

I currently use a cheap bio-min conditioner $17.00 / litre from aqua-force

Prime is probably the most expensive, I buy mine online ...

If what your currently using is working and you think that prime is abit prohibitive in cost, I think stay with what your using ... unless someone else can recommend an alternative ... I think Proteus mentioned another product about 12 months ago ...

I just checked their website, they now have a free membership, which saves you 10% on their all ready low prices ;)

thanks weird
If I work the numbers my bio-min is 5ml/20litres and prime is .5ml/20 litres. 10 x more concentrated

sounds like prime is the go :)

AquaStar is about the most concentrated product available in Australia

Prime sounds pretty good but I was refering more on the side of what salts people use rather than declorinators and co.
