Ok guys and gals, upgraded my 29 gallon tank with crushed coral (yuck) rookie mistake to a 65 gallon tank. I got 75lbs of fine sand from a friend and added more rock. Tank has been up now going on day 4. I'm getting a ammonia reading of .25 -.50 and nitrite is slightly detectable now on day 4. I was super worried so I bought a bottle of prime and used it. Fish look great and I only have a very small pulsing xenia in there right now. Fish are hiding a little when I walk in front but they are eating just like normal and they are actually still acting the way they did in my 29 gallon tank. How long will this last and should I be putting prime in or not? If so how often???
