When I do a partial water change I have been using seachem prime to pretreat the water before putting in the tank. Wouldn't really call it pretreating I just use 2 containers put a few drops in a container fill and while I dump one container I fill the second container. I just keep repeating until finished. This can take a while on my 100 gallon fw tank and is quit messy. Now my question.
I just purchased a vacume that hooks to your sink to use for removing water and can then reverse it to fill. My question is if I add enough prime to replace the water I removed from the tank and then fill the tank strait from my sink using the vacume will this be safe for my fish and the bacteria . Forgot to mention I'm about 2 weeks into cycling this new tank.
