After dosing with Prime, there is no need to age the tap water. It can be used immediately after dosing. You can use salt in your tap water along with the Prime to help eliminate any pathogens from the water if you feel it is necessary. If you are using the salt to prevent gill burn, Prime will detoxify nitrites for up to 48 hours so it is not necessary to add the salt if you are using Prime . As long as your biological filter is established, the bacteria should be sufficient enough to connvert the nitrites before the 48 hours is up.
