Never used it but I remembered a thread about it before. Have a look at http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...ght=pond+prime
Have anyone ever use this in their discus tanks?

Byron thanks for link.

Here's the previous posting where Seachem said the two products are the same:

Have used it for a few years and found it is the most economical way to go. Also, doesn't change PH. HTH
I have used Pond Prime for the last 2 years and I love it. It is a higher concentration than regular Prime so you don't use as much.
Scott
I am not sure where you get your information from but Pond Prime is a higher concentration.
Pond Prime = 2 tablespoons treats 600 to 700 gallons of water
Regular Prime = 1 capfull treats 50 gallons of water.
So it would take 12 to 14 capfull of regualr Prime to treat the same amount of water as the 2 Tablespoons of Pond Prime.
So yes pond prime is a higher concentration and you are right they are the same thing when it comes to treating your water.
Scott
Scott, be sure to read my post which refers to a link to comment posted direct from Seachem - pond prime is NOT more concentrated, they merely change the recommended dosage relative to the surface area of the volume of water.
Here's the link again:

Sorry did not realize that, my apologies.

To summarize:
- Seachem Pone Prime and Seachem Prime are the 'same'
- Treat your water based on Seachem Prime (5ml per 50 gal)
Does that cover it?

I have always used Prime , buy it in the gallon size. I heard that the pond Prime is less expensive. Where can I find a listing for pond Prime ?
Thanks,
roberto.
I can only find PP in 2L jugs. I'm not sure if this is more expensive than 1 gallon of prime. Here's a link to F&S

On the other hand, I saw 2L of Prime the other day for around $26. Darned if I can remember where
jeep, thank you. I though that the pond prime was a lot less expensive . I was wrong . at BigAlsOnline four liters are $52.16 for the regular Prime .
