Never done this before

[Kimunaffected]

Thank you very much ! Your absolutely confirming my suspicions about the prime. I suppose it’s handy in an emergency but def shouldn’t replace my water conditioner. Also thanks for the info on the fertilizer. I have as a rookie tossed in live plants before and watched them die a slow death. These are all new to me from a friend. So this time around I am hoping to do the plants some justice! Thanks again so much.
