premier™ is a specialized conditioner formulated specifically for planted aquariums. It effectively removes harmful chlorine and chloramines from your aquarium water without altering the pH, as it is non-acidic. Ideal for use at aquarium start-up and whenever adding or replacing water, premier™ ensures a safe and healthy environment for aquatic plants and fish.
premier™ contains a concentrated solution of potassium thiosulfate, which neutralizes both chlorine and chloramines. While thiosulfate-based conditioners are generally not recommended for saltwater aquaria due to ammonia production when reacting with chloramines, this product is perfectly suited for freshwater planted tanks. The ammonia generated from chloramine breakdown is primarily in the ammonium form, which is rapidly absorbed and scavenged by aquatic plants*, promoting a balanced and thriving ecosystem.

Directions
Use 5 mL of premier™ for every 190 L (50 US gallons) of water. It can be added directly to the aquarium, though it is preferable to treat new water before introduction. When dosing directly in the aquarium, base the amount on the total aquarium volume. In cases of exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be applied for effective conditioning.
