Water Ager - What's your pick?

[Chris McMahon]

Yes i'm sure i don't have cloromine in my tapwater. Brisbane actually use 2 sources for water and indeed some areas do have cloromines but in my area we use a different water catchment and treatment plant and no cloromine. My water is also softer and lower ph compared to most areas.

Good to hear. I didn't know there was a variation in Brisbane's water. The Gold Coast is similar, with northern areas getting their supply from Brisbane Water, with Chloramine.

i am using seachem safe at the moment (powder form) but i used to use prime

from waht i know prime is just liquid safe.... both have and are working fine.

does anyone know the exact doasge to use when using SAFE? i know the approx dosage rate but not sure of the exact...so i'm probably overdosing and wasting a little

thanks

Yeah I don't like dosing the powder form of safe since its so hard to be very accurate with the crappy lil spoon.

To mix the SAFE into a concentration similar to prime, which you can then dose with a 1ml pipette accurately.. put 250g of SAFE into a 1litre container and fill it to the 1 litre mark with distilled or R/O water.

thanks vincent! i'll make some up asap in the liquid form because i did much prefer it in the prime/liquid form myself.

cheers

I use ACN (preferred) and Prime (on an irregular basis)

Just bought my self Water Ager CN, is that the same as ACN?
Also I noticed that in one of the post it says 1 ml is to treat 80 litres of water, but on the bottle it says 1 ml to treat 40 l of water, can anyone who uses Water Ager CN care to explain?
This is the first time I use ACN, prior to this I use Prime.

CN is a weaker version of ACN. ACN treats 60L per 1ml.

Also I think it might only treat chlorine, as in Chlorine Nutrualiser vs Ammonia Chlorine Neutraliser. According to my bottle, ACN is a "instant Chlorine, Chloramine, Ammonia & Hevy Metals Neutralizer + Slime Coat".

I use prime (seachem)

Ever done anything that you knew you would regret ! Bought 250 ml Prime this weekend, in upper north Sydney ... north shore has the worse LFS !!!!! for $37 .... I said no and gave him back the bottle after I paid for it and saw the receipt ... but knew I was time poor that weekend said ... gee ok ...well alright .... knowing I could get a better price elsewhere ...., and the kid behind the counter had the nerve to say, "it will last a long time." ... I ignored him ... man that does not last long at my place ... anyhow, I saw I can get 500 ml of Prime for the same price online !!! I am livid.

I know the feeling dave, I can buy 120ml of ACN for $8 online but I have to pay $6.95 for 30mls at my LFS
