Q: I keep Discus and do daily water changes of anywhere from 20-75%. SAFE was recommended to me by a local pet store. I have been using Start Right or equivalent to dechlorinate, but my local water department is switching to chloramine and I am looking for a solution. I usually dose the water after draining the desired percentage and refill my tanks right out of the tap. There are warnings SAFE not to overdose. Will I be able to use this product in the same manner as start right?
A: Safe™ can be used
to remove chlorine, chloramine and ammonia. It is recommend that you use
the recommended amount, especially when removing elevated levels of ammonia
(the dose would be higher than if you were treating for chloramines or chlorine).
When treating your system, after you have completed filling up
the tank, use the recommend dose for removing chloramines. You
will need to dose the entire system water volume because the chloramines
have had a change to circulate through your water (if performing a water
top off or change from a bucket it is only necessary to treat that the new
water).
Q: Can I mix Seachem Safe with water and store the solution to use later on. So instead of using the dry powder, I can use it pre-dissolved.
A: Safe does not have the stabilizers, like Prime, to keep it stable in liquid form. We do not recommend mixing it and storing it for future use.
