That brings up another issue with Prime... If the test kit is reading total ammonia, then (since Prime does not remove any ammo), the test is useless after you add the "detoxifier".
I doubt this is the case, but if the tests measure total ammo and the badge measures free ammo, then the results should be different... maybe not .25, but who knows.
What's the temp of the water you're replacing? You can probably get away with a 3-5 degree difference...Water only at 70 degrees and it’s 1130 pm already
77.5 now cause I took the heater out and put in mixing station now three 500 watts are running and temp seems to be rising little faster. I think I will do no more then 1 degree less. When it’s 1 degree less that’s when I will start the disassembly. 73.1 now woohoo
It's too bad you can't hit up a LFS or rally some local folks and get a large amount of saltwater (or at least RODI) at once. For that matter, if you could borrow a few empty tanks, you could separate the rock into smaller batches and hopefully control things better.77.5 now cause I took the heater out and put in mixing station now three 500 watts are running and temp seems to be rising little faster.

This is a horrible problem for you. here would be my suggestions - the Prime is 'supposed to detoxify ammonia' - it does not 'remove it' - as others say. Again - (and lets not start that debate lo
- there is also 'doubt' as to whether it detoxifies it well - and definitely not beyond 24-48 hours - so your ammonia testing MAY (based on the studies here not be accurate. IMHO - I would add a good bottled bacteria product now that you've changed the water - to help ammonia from re-accumulating (if it's going to) - it will not hurt. Also keep oxygenation up as well. These are just my suggestions based on what you've done in the last day. It's difficult to put everything together based on everything else that happened. However, I'm hopeful - that things will improve and I would definitely 'give it time'.
Yes I have and we’ve been working together to try to fix the situation and salvage something out of this. Philipp has been very helpful so far Communicating with me daily and giving me advice on how to move forward
One issue is that he needed to use tap water instead of RODI, so the Prime was primarily to dechlorinate. My concern is that *whatever* affect Prime has on ammonia will skew future test results...This is a horrible problem for you. here would be my suggestions - the Prime is 'supposed to detoxify ammonia' - it does not 'remove it' - as others say.

Ooh man... Rebuilding at the dealership is no fun. They eventually started shipping us crates.My back is killing me but it’s finally going back in. Been rebuilding this engine while all this been going on also. Been very long week for me
Thats what I said. If you have used Prime - you cannot really interpret ammonia - EXCEPT - THAT if you do a 100% water change - by definition the ammonia then is 'zero'. Prime alone does not cause a false ammonia level - it only will not change a high or abnormal level.
They force us to do the most cost-effective repair which means as cheap as possible so it’s always open it up and put whatever parts inside of it it needs only and slap it back together and cross your fingers
Yep put a short block in that escape in 15.5 hours total finished it before I left. So rock is looking like it’s starting to turn white in some places. The smell is still horrible!!
