Did Seachem made a mistake with their Seachem Safe product?

check this out



notice the second picture. the dosage amount is EXTREMELY different. is the smaller bottle more concentrated? the difference is by a huge margin.

seems the smaller one is the newest revision, maybe they changed the content to be more effective

Yeah, the larger bottle on the right is the old formulation (hence older labels and dosage recommendations), the smaller bottle is the new formulation, get that instead.

is the powder form really more worth it that liquid one?

Sorry i am confuse, is Prime and Safe same product same range?

Ditto as bro Dscheng above. What's the difference between Safe and Prime? I'm using Prime at the moment, should I change? Is it safe to?

Safe is like the dry powdered version of Prime, it is definitely more cost effective especially for larger tanks (though for smaller tanks it can be abit tough to measure the small dosages)... they both do the same jobs of neutralizing chlorine and chloramines, and detoxifying ammonia for a period of time.

The main difference is Safe does not detoxify heavy metals and doesn't encourage the protective slime coat on fishes, as those compounds are not available in dry form. So its a trade-off.

Here are some info on their differences: http://www.seachem.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=7131

Oh i see, in that case, i still stick with the PRIME.

Thanks UA, so it seems the safer choice ironically is not Safe. Heh.

Hahah, i laugh when i read this ! Ya, seem like they should rename as not 100% safe, use at your own risk .

Prime burn our 'pocket' deeper than safe, so i guess it's more 'pocket' safe like it's name

Wah I have the old big bottle of SAFE... Means need to use another product to remove heavy metals? Which is best for that?

If you need the version that can detoxify heavy metals, then have to switch to Seachem Prime.
