LyndaB said:Yes, it is.
When I do water changes, I only dose Prime for the amount of water removed, so in your case, a 50% water change would require 1 1/2 - 2 ml of Prime. Since it's safe to overdose it a bit, I'd go with 2 ml. Other people choose to dose for total tank size versus amount of water changed, so in that case, you could go with the 3 ml.
Questions?
LyndaB said:$10.79 for 500 ml (16 oz) bottle..... that lasts a really long time.....
LyndaB said:I just figured out that that large bottle allows us to do 33 water changes on each of our 4 tanks. Not too shabby.
LyndaB said:I think there are an equal number of members that use both methods. I've been doing this with 4 tanks for years and have never had an issue, not so much as a mini-cycle. If it ain't broke, I ain't gonna fix it.
LyndaB said:I treat the water before, during or after I start the refill process. Depends on how hectic things are going with the other tanks.
I'm glad your father's fish survived...... more power to him. Would I risk not using a dechlorinator? No, but that's just me personally. To each his own.
