The only way I can see someone having issues using Prime is if they are using it wrong. I used Prime with the most sensitive of fish and not had a problem....this is all FW of course.
The other reason, as I have seen, is that some people are so set in their ways and dislike change, they make up problems for a reason not to change.
But really, I see no way to screw up the use of Prime, unless they can't read the bottle or are too lazy to measure doses.

It probably has to do with being used to using a solution which requires 5-10x as much to dose your water.
But I don't see how you can screw it up badly enough to cause a problem(other than with your wallet). You can(and I did, while I was battling a nitrite issue) dose at 5x and not risk your fish.

Prime for me, used to use those other types but decided to save myself some money with a better quality product
The one thing I see is that Aquasafe claims to remove heavy metals from the water. Prime does not claim this, or if it does, I missed it on the bottle.
But dont you like heavy metal!!!!

Prime™ converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic form that is readily removed by the tank’s biofilter. Prime™ may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity. Prime™ detoxifies nitrite and nitrate, allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. It will also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. Prime™ also promotes the production and regeneration of the natural slime coat. Prime™ is non-acidic and will not impact pH. Prime™ will not overactivate skimmers. Use at start-up and whenever adding or replacing water."[/FONT]
