Seachem Prime - iminium salt question
Based on the link/post below from your Research Manager, I'd like to know how long do the ammonia-bound iminium salts last after the 24-48 hour time frame? They cannot simply convert back to Ammonia as some of you have stated in the past that it only "may" revert; and, one even mentioned that...Last edited by LabTest57; 07-26-2020, 19:22. -

Using Stability and Prime to cycle
Hi,
A little backstory:
I set up my 10 gallon aquarium last November, after having thoroughly cleaned it after a major GBA issue. I cleaned everything, even the filter, with tap water, which I recently found out has chloramine, to dissipate any GBA lingering. The only thing I didn't really... -
