What to do
Prime or Safe
Condition new tap water to address chlorine and chloramine. Prime is liquid; Safe is concentrated dry conditioner.
Stability or Pristine
Stability supports a biofilter when starting or disrupting a tank. Pristine focuses on organic waste and sludge.
Matrix or de*nitrate
Matrix is general biological media. de*nitrate is more nitrate-focused when filter flow meets its low-flow directions.
Purigen or Ammonia Alert
Purigen captures dissolved organic waste. Ammonia Alert continuously indicates free ammonia; use a test kit for a fuller check.
