That brings up another issue with Prime... If the test kit is reading total ammonia, then (since Prime does not remove any ammo), the test is useless after you add the "detoxifier".Yes all the new rock is out of my main system.
so I was thinking same thing about test so when I got the prime I got an api ammonia test kit. New rock system is 4 and and main system was between 1-2 about 6-7 hours after rock removed. Ph on main system is 8.42 apex. So I did 150 gallon water change on main system and Hanna now reads .1 and .2 tested 2x. It should be 0 I’m guessing by morning. As far as new rock system I have 200 gallons of prime treated tap water and gunna do 100% water change cleaning the system and swishing all the rocks. Wrote putting back in the 100% new water
I'm really not trying to discourage you and I know at this point trying anything is better than doing nothing, but be sure you understand how Prime will affect your tests so you don't end up with bad data.
