There is definitely a lot of confusion as to water conditioners and
how they work.
The only two that I have found that really meet the claims are Prime
by SeaChem or Amquel Plus by Kordon. These two really do de-toxify
ammonia and nitrites while leaving them bio available for nitrifying
bacteria.


This article has information comparing these as well as others:

I also recommend reading this article:

And as Marco stated, good old fashioned water changes are helpful
too .

Thanks Carl as usual, Amquel+ sounds like a "miracle". I gather plants can
still use the converted Nitrates?- Hide quoted text -

My experience and tests with Prime have shown continued growth with
Prime; however my experience with Amquel Plus is much more limited, so
I have to say based on others that I trust that have used Amquel Plus
that it works similar to Prime in this regards.
