if its the flavine i know...its the med that i used when my kid has a cut.......i tot the green water is M.Green?

iirc acriflavine and the like should be colourless
the green solution might be malachite green, and should NEVER be used as a preventive, especially when pregnant women are likely to get exposed to the tank water
