the prime binds the ammonia ( harmless) and allows the bio filter to eat it
I always assumed that the amount of ammonia left from the breakdown of chloramines would be insignificant and be handled by a good bio filter. No need to remove the ammonia. Consider if the source treated water resulted in a 5ppm ammonia reading, and that source only constituted 25% of the total volume of the system, you're talking about a 1ppm increase to the entire system, which shouldn't cause a problem for the bio filter.
