Waiting After Using Prime

Post by hermit_crab_mommy » Sat Aug 21, 2021 11:16 am

Hello! So I’ve been going to use Prime for cleaning my hermit crabs water but I didn’t know if you have to wait after. I looked it up and it said 24 hours for fish tanks but I don’t know if it’s any different for hermit crabs. If anyone knows please let me know. Thank you!

Usually I make my crab and tortoise water with Prime up in advance, but I've used Prime water for them right away too. When I do my fish tank water change, I fill the bathtub and add prime, wait a min or two, then start pumping that water into my aquarium. It's always worked well for me. Image

Prime works instantly to remove chlorine and neutralize heavy metals, no need to wait for crabs or fish.
