Products I use:
Prime bottle 500 mL - amzn.to/3HjhmEz
Seachem Safe (powder) - amzn.to/3VLcLyy
Pipettes (3 mL measuring) - amzn.to/3UDfpG1
Math Breakdown:
4 Tbs + 1/2 Tsp safe powder into 1,500 mL water
Gives you 15,000 gallons worth of water conditioner
Needing to use 1 mL for every 10 gallons
***Always shake before using
Sir. Every time I make a batch I watch some of your videos. Thanks
This exactly answers a question I've been having since getting back into the hobby. THANK YOU!
Plus I'm thrilled you have a fridge magnet about Jesus ❤
Hi Sir
Glad you've restarted to posting video. However I've to disagree with you on this method.
Firstly on Seachem website FAQ section clearly states that they dont recommend mixing safe in water to be used as prime or even for later stored usage. Reason is prime has stabilizer unlike safe that's why safe is powder & prime is liquid versions.
Secondly your method might work for you because you've mentioned that you overdose it. Which is basically wasting the product.
Better method is to have a designated water storage. Dechlorinate it based on water volume for chlorine/ chloramines etc. Then use test strips to check if parameters are suitable for fishes & water changes.
Thirdly lets give you the benefit of doubt it works. You need to use R O or distilled Water to mix the safe because youre tap water unless is one of above mentioned will have some form of chlorine etc and the safe power will start the chemical reaction in the bottle reducing its potency when put into the tank. Again giving rise why you overdose.
I strongly don't recommend using this method of mixing in water and using safe like prime.
Sir I'm not trying to offend you but help educate so others can benefit.
Thank you Sir for allowing me opportunity to share this information.
Thank you so much for sharing that dechlorinator information with us!!! It will save me a lot of money. Also thank you for showing us your fish again, they are so beautiful !!!
Thank you for watching and your positivity!!! :)
I like the background!
Fridge magnet. Jesus I Trust in Thee.
Thanks!
You have a good eye! Yes, thank you! 😇 God Bless 🐠 😁
Glad you’re still uploading
why would you treat the entire tank for a 30% water change, and add 30% more? Use your head young man.
How many grams in a spoon?
Buy a cheap funnel to add the powder.
Buying commercial dechlorinator and mixing it with water is not DIY. Usually DIY means it's something you have to make or at least a way to save money doing something. If you had of shown how to mix sodium thiosulfate (basically what is in "safe") or said another chemical that does the same job this would be a great video. As it stands now though it's easier to just read the directions on the bottle.
