0 nitrate? I am a huge believer in prime. Last year i had my BB crash on me ( I cleaned my tank too well) before adding several wild caught frontosa that cost me over $1K. my ammonia reading got over 8ppm+ I thought my fish were toast. I did small water changes every couple days and although I had high ammonia readings the prime completely neutralized the toxic affects and the fish acted like nothing was wrong. after a week or two I got nitrites and continued with the prime and although I got reading of .25ppm the prime made it completely safe. this stuff works, there is no way my fish could survive 8+ ppm ammonia for that long. I was a emotional wreck for two weeks lol.

Didn't you also use an overdose of seachem stability to help the process along ? I think I remember this.


To the OP if you cant go to your other filter and get some bio media or gravel from the other tank for whatever reason. I personally would do 50% daily water changes. Feed light every other day and closely monitor the water and keep a chart of it. Also use enough prime to dose for the whole tank on every water change.
