| Q:
I keep Discus and do daily water changes of anywhere from
20-75%. SAFE was to me recommended 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.
