Seachem Pristine Water Conditioner, 500 ml

Excellent stuff as is all Seachem

Pristine really helps boost bacteria and reduce gunk in the water. I used this after a small ammonia spike and within two days the tank looked way clearer and got rid of the ammonia levels, It smells like sulphur when dosing, which is normal but strong.Pairing this with Stability works well, especially in planted tanks. Just shake it hard before use.✔ Pros:• Improves water clarity quickly• Supports beneficial bacteria• Good for post-clean or filter change❌ Cons:• Smell is intense• Needs regular use to keep resultsTip: Dose it at night with the lights off, fish seem calmer and the smell fades faster.

I brought this product to help deal with excess mulm build-up in the pipes of my canister filter after I noticed some reduced flow. I was sceptical however after a week there is a noticeable improvement in flow and also water clarity and overall the tank looks more polished. this isn't to be used to replace regular maintenance and water changes, but can be considered to assist with the process. One thing Seachem doesn't tell you is the frequency of dosage however volume of dosage is easy to work out if you know the tank size. Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 40 L (10 US gallons).

I have gradually changed my tank products to Seachem, after reading reviews. Giving this a go and to be honest ive never had any issues, will update at a later date.

This product contains live bacteria, which promise to break down solid organic matter more effectively in the tank. This is almost immediately obvious, and fish waste, suspended matter and uneaten food will quickly be broken down which gives a 'quick fix' of a cleaner, clearer looking tank in a day or two...and it works. But. And it's a big but.The organic matter is only broken down ready for the next stage of biological filtration, and produces nitrates, nitrites and ammonia all of which are potentially lethal to fish. If your main filtration system is not ready for this surge, or capable of dealing with it, this product can lead to disaster with spikes in toxins which will potentially kill livestock.Really, this product polishes the living daylights out of already very 'clean' tanks with a good filtration bio-load balance... Don't buy it to solve problems with dirty tanks, it won't help and could prove the tipping point for disaster.

Love this stuff.....A little goes a long way, thank gawd as it's a bit expensive....after the initial full dose I now only put in a 1/2 of the recommended maintenance dose and it still manages to do a good job of keeping the water crystal clear. I have 6 planted tanks and glass cleaning drives me potty. Dusty glass really bugs me(just a tiny bit OCD with the tanks)....since using this I have really noticed how little I have to clean the ''dust'' from the glass and It seems to keep to other detritus to a minimum.Used Purigen in the past but VERY EXPENSIVE to buy and a pain to regenerate, still a fab product though..... but very happy with this and so easy to use and effective so will definately buy this again.....love Seachem products.

Good

Bought this after reading reviews and I am more than happy with this product.
