How much should i panic

**BiGBlak** · 01-07-2013, 05:20 AM

I was doing a water change and i made a bone head mistake of filling the tank back up before adding my Prime ran the filters for about 2 mins and then remembered.

And when i say panic im talking about how bad do you think i messed up my BB Ill say after the tank filled up the filters where on no more than 5 mins and this was a 20% water change. Hope i didnt mess it up as im getting fish on tuesday.

Test in the morning and see if there is an ammonia spike.

Isnt it too quick as i just did the water change so some ammonia should still be present since out the tap my water is about 1ppm of ammonia ? Im about to hit the gym ill test it when i get back. Do you think i should worry ? ive been reading that anything under a 50% i shouldt worry?

Good news no spike! i dodged one right there. Just a question what do some of you do ? add before or after and is there any risk to adding after ?

i always put prime in before i start filling tank back up and i get the temp just right on the water then pour the amount of prime in and start filling all done within 30 seconds if you had no spike that's great news i think some do it after but just to be safe i always add before
