Ancient post brought back to life, but for whoever thats interested:
I have personally used prime in my qt for years with no ill effect. however I add much less then whats recommend on the bottle and only when its needed.
Just make sure to NEVER use prime or any ammonia reducers with copper!
TTM method is my proffered choice of qt as well and I have been doing it for year but I have to admit that I have had some failures with it when doing it every 3 days (less then 72 hours) swaps so I changed to every 48 hours and it has worked perfectly!
No need to worry about ammonia either.
however TTM doesn't treat for velvet which is becoming just as common as ich.
