Thanks again zenith, this hobby is really poisonous and $$$ wasting , really regret taking up this hobby, so many this and that stuff to buy and so many this and that things need to be done.

Seriously will only use condition tap water only , dont want to waste any money already on RO or distilled water.

But overall , this hobby is FUN......

Bro, both mosura shizen and seachem prime are anti-(chlorine and chloramine..) if i am not wrong ,the description label of the bottle did mention about it..

Yes confirm mosura shizhen got both anti chlorine and chloramine

Bro HeMan, AQ forum is a great learning ground for keeping shrimps. Everyone here are helpful. I am still learning also, there are always new things discovered and there is no end to learning in here. We share and learn from each other, that keeps the community here fun and on going.

Happy CNY to all!

Ah...but chemically, these 2 products work very differently, with very different by products.

I see..which do you think will be a better product going by the byproducts it produces..?

Seachem prime describes as removal while shizen breaks down.. How are your views about it?
Many thanks in advance for the enlightenment..

The following is totally my own opinions:
I would go with Shizhen long term. However, it may not lock up the ammonium byproducts immediately, only breaks down the chloramines. This means its not wise to do huge waterchanges if your tap water's chloramine concentrations are high or the tank's biofilters are small or immature, or the tank volume is very small as the ammonia would take time to be broken down by the filters. Slight ammonia spike may occur?

Seachem prime is good for new tanks and large waterchanges as it totally locks away all toxic substances for the biofilters to break down. It'll even lock away existing ammonia in the water, so it can be used during an ammonia spike emergency.
However, it may have sodium and sulphur accumulation issues in the long terms I cannot seemed to write off or verify since I've not looked into how excess sodium and sulphur are removed from our tanks, and what levels these would reached based on Seachem's recommended dosage during waterchanges.

I'm using a combination of both at the moment since my tank is very new.
