Do you know if your tank has copper in it? Prime can react with copper and the reaction is a deadly toxic. See here.

Sorry to hear Justin. I frown on using tap water, RO/DI only. Better to let the water stand with an air stone and a heater for a day or two before use. You might want to do a large W/C and get a $5 fish and see how it goes. Did you loose anything else? What are you water parm's now?
