Nyasa Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 No this has been very helpful. I am now certain that I did use too much Safe. I discovered Cochrane's water is treated here in Cochrane and they are only using 0.9 ppm of chlorine. I feel comfortable enough in this knowledge to try the Safe again at a much lower dose. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Glad that I could help, David. As previously mentioned Safe/Prime contain hydrosulphide salts, which act as a reducing agent. That's why it reacts with chlorine compounds, which are oxidising agents. If there are no chlorine compounds left in your aquarium water it will find something else to reduce, such as O2. If O2 levels are reduced enough it can cause osmoregulatory stress in fish, as well as in bio bacteria. That may, or may not have contributed to causing a mini cycle in your tank. Safe is a very effective and IMO very "safe" product, if used acordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD. Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 FYI - Cloram-X is not nearly as cost effective as Seachem Safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
