Drops per Gallon Prime or Start Right ?

I use 1 gallon jugs to put new water into my tank. It would be very helpful to know how many drops (from an eye dropper) to use of Prime or Start Right to put into a gallon of water.
Also: What is the difference between Prime and Start Right ?

I'm not sure. I have a 1cc syringe that I use to dose my Prime. And on it I use .1 ml/gal. I'm not sure how that would convert to drops. Sorry.

Well, Start Right as far as I know will only remove chloramines and chlorine. I have a smaller bottle of it, and on the back of it it states to use 10 drops per gallon (but that is as measured by the bottle itself).

As far as Prime I do not use that one, so possibly someone else here can help.

*edited to add*

I have heard that Prime is similar to Amquel+. If that information is correct, then it not only should remove chloramine and chlorine, but also detox ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. But you'd have to read the product description to be sure.

Start Right is a conditioner alone. It remove chlorine, chloramines and detox's heavy metals.
Prime does that but also detox's ammonia nitrites and nitrates.

prime calls for a dosage of two drops per gallon but you can use up to five times that dose in an emergency
