Hi Guys,
just treated my tank with potassium permanganate and wanted to get peoples opinion on what has happened. Solution was 15g in 1ltr (2ppm) and dosed tank with 26ml in 52 gallon. After 10 minutes colour changed to a honey colour so i put another 26ml in and this lasted for around 20 min. I added another 13ml around 1 hour into dosing and tank turned honey colour after 2 hours or so. I did a 50% wc before and after treament and just wanted to know it changed colour so quick? i cleaned filters last week and its in a bb tank. How long does it take for flukes to die? What would you do in my sitution? So i can finally get rid of flukes for good. Ph is around 7.4, Do i redose the tank in a couple of days? I couldnt keep adding more PP as i was up to 5ppm in the tank?
Cheers Tim
