If you're using a water changer, you can add Prime directly to your tank. Dose the amount of Prime based on the entire volume of the tank, not just the water you are replacing. Here's how I do it with my Python-
- Turn off filter. This prevents the raw tap water from being sucked up into your bio-filter before the Prime neutralizes it)
- Drain water / gravel vac with Python
- Add Prime directly to the tank based on total volume of your tank (mine is 46 gallon, so I add ~ a full capful)
- Swish the Prime around with my hand
- Refill the tank with temperature matched water (using your hand to match temp is fine)
- Plug the filter back in
