From a couple of threads, I wonder if I'm using "Prime" incorrectly.
These are the steps I currently follow when doing PWC's.
1) Remove about 25% of tank water, while vacuuming the gravel; I fill 2 16L pails, so I'm probably taking out about 28L of water (from a 25gal (114L) tank)
2) I draw tap water into an 18L pail and add a couple of drops of "Prime" to that. I do this twice, which tops up the tank.
In previous threads, folks have indicated that the whole tank should be "primed". Would I do that after taking out the 25% water or after topping up the tank? Or does it matter? Should I continue as I have?
