Metrcide 14 to replace seachem excel?

[aquanick]

Old thread but just came across this now as i am new to the forum!
So this means that both metricide and cidex (14 or 2 are not available in singapore? Phew!

Btw, I called up Universal Laboratories Supplier (haig road) today, they said they have Glutaraldehyde 25% but not for sale to individual.. only schools and institutions..
So only the expensive flourish excel is the option!

I told you so..... if it is available here to public most of us here will have our own cocktail of metrcide solution.

But I got this through a friend who works in a clinic:

I will try and use this. According to the description, korsolex has 15% glutaraldehyde. Used widely in singapore in dental clinics.

Do update us on the use of it. As a note of caution, the surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, fragrances as well as other chemicals inside this product might be harmful to the livestocks..

Oh.. ok.. any idea about this chemical : ethylendioxy dimethano?
Any chemists here..?

Dear all..
small update. the Korsolex i bought and diluted to 1.3% glut; is working great as an algaecide. I have bba and a bit of gsa in my new tank, i started dosing 2ml alternate days and the rocks now are clean..
No adverse effects on moss, blyxa japonica and stem plants on overdosing noted..

You have livestocks in there? Shrimps in particular?

[aquanick]

No shrimps as of now, neons and ottos as of now. Will add a few cherries this weekend.
