Who told you that load of tripe?
Aquasonic DO NOT get their product from Kent and relabel it. They have in
fact been manufacturing aquarium water treatments long before even Kent
Marine existed.
The Australian product by virtue of it's proximity to Australian markets
would not have anywhere the same shipping time and /or temperature
fluctautions that Prime would be exposed to. I hope this misinformation did
not come from Seachem- if it did, my previously high opinion of their
product has just shrunk.
For the record- Aquasonic repackage some Kent Marine filtration mediums
under licence. Absolutely all of their other products are formulated and
manufactured in Australia, and have been for 33 years. Jack Kent, by
comparison, is a relative newcomer to the aquarium trade.

I apologise if I sound a little short, but the amount of misinformation in
the aquarium game just astounds me, and it brings a lot of disrepute upon
the hobby. LFS's are often to blame, I expect more of "reputable"
manufacturers.
