Here is an article that will tell you everything and more you need to know (and then some) about sodium bisulfite - as a preservative It is widely used - I would EXPECT it would cause no issues in the very small concentration it is in. Also note that according to a post from Randy Holmes-farley - sodium bisulfite is an ingredient of Prime. Here is another perspective from another R2R thread. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/seafood-preservatives-and-how-to-avoid-them-in-your-reef.887474/

The link above refers to Sodium Bisulfate, when it appears the OP was asking about Sodium Bisulfite.
Sodium Bisulfite (NaHSO3) also called as sodium hydrogen sulphite is a chemical compound that can be prepared by bubbling sulphur dioxide in a solution of sodium carbonate. 38 percent of solution is produced by neutralizing sulphur dioxide gas with sodium hydroxide. Sodium Bisulphite in contact with chlorine bleach will release harmful fumes.
Sodium Bisulfite is used in almost all commercial wines, to prevent oxidation and to preserve flavor. It is also used in the analysis of methylation status of cytosine in DNA.
Sodium Bisulfite is primarily used for water treatment to remove excess chlorine in drinking water. It is used to bleach pulp in the pulp and paper industries. Mainly it is used to remove metals from industrial waste water.
