amquel+ or prime

[mistahoo]

My few small tank are a little over 350g of water. The water containers I have cost me $20.00 for a 65g drum and $25.00 for a 55g glass tank. the pump to move water was about $40.00 new and its all paid for...
My big tank I can do 85% water change if I use both containers but even 50% takes both. So the drum only gets use for the big tank.
The last time I got prim for my water it was about $9.00. Don't remember how long that lasts but it wasn't that long. As the years slip away I am sure the containers and pump have paied for them selfs....

True. After so many years they will pay for themselves. Thing is, a 65g drum would only do about a 60% water change for my tank and I like to do 100% water changes but drain and refill more water after that 100% water change. Nothing wrong with the idea. I'm actually planning on going with it in the future but with very large water containers. Safe doesn't cost that much ($25ish?) for enough to change out 200,000 gallons (or so the container says). For now, I'll go with the Safe.

From what I've observe it seems to dissolve right away

Okay cool. Thanks

I use safe and it's very cost effective. Sunny was the one who got me using it. I normally drain my tank 95% then add water and immediately add half of the treatment. When tank is half full I add the rest and never have problems. Does dissolve in the water.

And I don't see the point in using prime to dechlorinate the purigen. Why not just add some water to safe?

amquel. I like the fact that it also detoxifies nitrate. always thought that was the whole point of changing water. it lasts me a long time for the price, and although it is smelly, it seems to dissipate quickly. question, does safe have a odor?

Safe smells life a spring morning in the Rockies...











Only kidding, smells like H2S

I'm thinking I may try to use half amquel and half safe.

Man, you sure do like to complicate things don't you?

[mistahoo]

One or the other! LOL! I love AmQuel+ but I'm willing to give Safe a try.

I wouldn't recommend that use one or the other you never know what will react with what.

Their are two different types of Amequal. there is Amequal+ and Amequal+Plus

I guess there's 3 types of AmQuel then. I found AmQuel, AmQuel+, and AmQuel+ Plus. I'm using whatever Petsmart is selling in the 1 gallon jug.

sometimes they have amquel+ and sometimes they have amquel+plus I guess it depends what comes on the truck. I asked and that is what they told me lol.

[johnnymisty]

From what I've read on amquel there is amquel and amquel +
