Hi Does anyone know if the filter start will work if im using prime at the same time ? i did hear someone on the forum saying they were incompatible

Thanks for reply's Is it true that when using prime my amm/nitrite/nitrate test kit will not show accurate readings from tank water ? I use a liquid test kit by interpet Also are these "bacteria" in a bottle products any good for helping the cycling process ? I live in the UK

Hi Im currently in the process of having to recycle my tank with fish stocked. I cant decide between using prime to convert the ammonia and doing a 25% weekly water change or doing daily 10% water changes with no prime to keep the ammonia down I would really appreciate your advice Thanks

Thanks for the advice , maybe il stop using prime and instead do a daily water change, i live in the UK but i heard that the equivelent to bio spira is called Soll bactinettes. Does anyone have any experience with this ?

Hi thanks for the reply, my fish seem to be fine, so you reckon its better not to do daily water changes ? i do have some prime so maybe il lay off the daily water changes and just do a weekly water change and use prime . I heard that prime only lasts in a tank for 24 hours. so i guess il have...
