Having a great day today. Everything can go wrong.. I spilt some frozen brine shrimp in the tank today. The ammonia is now rising. What can i do to bring it down. I have used prime. Will this help.

The protein skimmer is really skimming too.

Water change?

Will the ammonia just keep going up? Or will it fall .....

Will prime neutralize it?

If its really bad you might have to go as drastic as a 50% water change according to what I've researched for you bud.
Hope this helps and good luck. Hopefully a pro will answer to confirm this.
Let me know how it works out.

Also says to add extra filtration if you have it (hang on filter).
