Seachem Pristine

[Tankmandan]

Hello Everyone. I am looking for some information on seachem Pristine and the effects it has on a heavily planted tank. Will it remove important nutrients from the substrates? STuff like that. Any information is great. Thanks

Still wondering what if any our your experiences using this product in planted tanks? thanks

Hi and welcome to fishlore!
I use pristine at every weekly water change. No ill effects on plants and definitely saves me having to vacuum the gravel. Pristine only has bacteria which work on any accumulated debris in the gravel and convert it into nitrate just like the BB in the filter. You can also use API stress-zyme but I prefer pristine.
