Review on ๐ŸŸ Seachem Prime: Powerful Chemical Remover and Detoxifier for Fresh and Saltwater Aquariums by Melanie Trunnell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Sealed, but with an unpleasant odor and black dots! Replacement on the go

Original Review: First bought Prime from Seachem, recently switched from Aqueon. I've been wearing the Seachem Stress Guard for a little over a year now and it works like magic! But I'm not so sure about the Prime I got. I received a foil sealed bottle. There was an unpleasant odor upon opening. As this was my first time using it I wasn't sure if Prime was supposed to smell like that, but upon closer inspection I look into the bottle and see these black dots. I went through the reviews and found that one person had the exact same issue as me and more experience than I had with Seachem Prime and confirmed that it wasn't normal. Same smelly liquid, same black dots. The man even posted a photo! I saw the same in a bottle. I contacted customer service and they assured me they would send a replacement and it would arrive tomorrow hoping the replacement would be better. (I bought this product from Revain.com.) The first two photos show what it looks like when I look into the bottle and the third image shows what it looks like when I pour it into the cap. Updated Review: Apparently bad odor and blackheads are normal. I contacted Seachem to make sure this is normal and to better understand what it is. As soon as I get a response from Seachem I will update this review.
