Hello I am running out of my prime bottle, and I was wondering whether boiling water would be an option instead of using prime?
One of my friends in my area doesn't use prime, nor does he boil the water, just lets it sit for a day or two before putting it in the tank and he says he did not have an issue in two years by doing so.
Im therefore wondering whether prime is a necessity. It is not a question of money, just that I feel I dont fully understand all the liquids Im putting in and I dont know if Im not doing more harm mixing all kind of stuff in the tank. I use at the moment prime with water change, liquid fertilizer after water change and I put in bit of liquid bacteria a day after water change and I drip in Liquifry No1 which should be infusoria for fry. It feels to me like a lot of stuff going in the water.
The water parameters are where they should be.
