It is my understanding that Prime does not remove ammonia, just binds to it and keeps it from being toxic to livestock.
During QT, I would like to do water changes weekly barring the need for more often. I plan on QT'ing no more than two small fishes (think clowns 1.5") at a time using a 10gallon tank and mixed water that I use with my DT.
How often do I need to add prime, is this a once every water change, or do I need to 'refresh' it? Can it be overdosed? (not talking about a whole bottle, just a ml or two over)?
I would assume ammonia would still show up on a salifert ammonia test?
Do I need to plan for maybe a change 2x a week?
