As stated in the title, does anyone inject Seachem Prime into the shipping bags with a syringe or drop it in right after opening the bag so that the fish don't suffer any ammonia burn?
I don't know how quickly the change in pH occurs in the bag after opening or how quickly the ammonia turns toxic. I don't know how fast Seachem Prime detoxifies ammonia. I have read posts of new fish having a rough start, where commenters said it looked like they might have gotten ammonia burn. I am just wondering if this is a way to provide a bit of extra protection for stressed fish when they arrive and are starting acclimation.
@Slocke @i cant think @Petcrazyson I'm thinking specifically about the blue star leopard wrasse coming from Dr. Reef, hoping to make things as easy on the new gal as possible.
Thanks!
