OMG Aquatics Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 It claims to detoxify Ammonia but when I dosed .5 ppm Ammonia and 3x dosage of Prime, the snails I put in were all hiding in it's shell. Seachem states Prime has no shelf life but that doesnt mean you should use a 20 year old bottle. Since ammonia was affecting the snails, would that mean Prime didn't detoxify the ammonia?

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 If you dosed ammonia first, the snails may have been hit with that before prime. Also, from what I understand, prime temporarily locks ammonia for 24-48 hours. Blue Crown Aquatic Trade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yah. Dosed ammonia before prime. Took them out and been dosing prime every 48 hours. Seachem says it locks for a minimum of 48 hours. They are out of their shell now in different container and will put them back in again Let's see what happens.
