Seachem Safe

Seachem Safe is a highly concentrated dry water conditioner for freshwater and marine aquariums. Designed for fishkeepers treating new or replacement water, it removes chlorine, chloramine and ammonia while detoxifying nitrite and nitrate without affecting pH.

Key Benefits

• Complete dry conditioner for fresh and salt water aquariums.
• Removes chlorine, chloramine and ammonia.
• Converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic form that can be removed by the aquarium biofilter.
• Detoxifies nitrite and nitrate, helping the biofilter remove them more efficiently.
• May be used during aquarium cycling to alleviate ammonia and nitrite toxicity.
• Non-acidic formula that will not impact pH or overactivate skimmers.
• Dry version of Seachem Prime, with the same advantages in a more concentrated format.

How to Use

Use at aquarium start-up and whenever adding or replacing water. Seachem Safe may be added directly to the aquarium, although adding it to new water first is preferred. When dosing directly into the aquarium, calculate the dose according to total aquarium volume.

Dosage

• Use 100 mg Safe (scoop) per 100 L (25 gallons) as needed to reduce chlorine and chloramine.
• For ammonia, use 100 mg Safe (scoop) per 25 L (6 gallons).
• Alternatively, use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) per 1,250 L (300 gallons) for chlorine and chloramine, or 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) per 300 L (75 gallons) for ammonia.
• For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely.
• To detoxify nitrite and nitrate in an emergency, use up to four times the normal dose.
• If water temperature is above 30 °C (86 °F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, use a half dose.

Suitable For

Freshwater and marine aquariums, including tanks with protein skimmers and aquariums being cycled.
