pond prime?

Does Pond Prime really = 2x reg Prime? I'm getting a DrF&S order together & 2 liters pond treats 40,000g vs 20,000g for reg. I saved some smaller bottles but with my new Python I seem to go through it faster.

I read both it's 2 times reg & it's just reg but "because it's for a pond less is needed". Air or sun won't break down chloramines AFAIK so that doesn't quite work for me.

A lot of pond products are more concentrated & usually cheaper if you use enough to justify the giant size. My husband, a chemist, doesn't think it breaks down fast.

Either way @$40 for 2 liters it's less than the small bottles.

not too sure, the only way to find out is to test... try pure bleach XD... just dilute it onto some water... and add equal amounts... then measure

According to Seachem:

They are the exact same product and concentration. The dosage for a pond is less because a pond has more surface area that can gas off some chlorine. If you use the Pond Prime for an aquarium please use the normal aquarium Prime's dosage directions."

Big Als sells Gallons for 59 or 69$
