If I use Prime water conditioner do I add it to the new water I am putting into the tank or to the tank itself. For maintenance can I add a little to my tank each day ?
TIA

I wouldn't add more prime everyday... I do 50% water changes every week, so I add half a cap full to replace it. I add my prime to the water after its been added to the tank.

No need to dose Prime everyday. Follow the instructions on the bottle for the correct amount and you should be good until your next water change.

I usually figure out how much I need to add to the tank, and then I slowly add it in as new water is added into the tank. No need for maintenance like the rest mentioned.

Don't dose everyday just use it when needed. I add it at the same time as the new water.

I just add to the tank after I have done a water change, and I just follow the directions on the bottle.

I just add mine to the tank as I am adding the new water when I do a water change.

Prime is more concentrated that many of the other water conditions. It's one capful for 50 gallons versus some of the others that are 1 capful for each 10 gallons.

I also do 50% water changes, add the water conditioner to the tank and refill. Prime must be some good stuff because it's the only water conditioner I've used that smells like H###. gez......what's up with THAT? lol
