If you need it for chlorine buy the cheapest one. Almost all use the same chemical for dechlor. Don't pay more just for a company name.

If you need it for chloramine. The two best are Seachems Prime and Amquel.

I personally use Amquel, and I've used it since I got into the hobby. Very reliable. You could combine it with Novaqua (both by Kordon) and these two will get rid of all the unsafe chemicals and metals in your water.

I use Prime. (Harlock sold me on it)

When I use conditioner I use prime. In my case chlorine only, so water aging allows me to skip the conditioner altogether.

Prime is much more concentrated than Amquel/Amquel Plus. So while the bottle may be more expensive, it is cheaper because you use significantly less of it.

Anyone using Amquel should seriously consider switching to Prime. It has saved me mucho $$$$.
