PP stains the glass and equipment if kept for longer period
|
Treating your aquarium by strong oxidizer like PP necessarily not need longer duration.
Within couple of hours your aquarium is completely 'nuked'. PP solution turning brown means PP has finished its job.
Stains if any remained, can be removed by White-Vinegar or Acetone etc. |

Wouldn't PP take care of all possible salvaged viruses, bacterias, protozoas, eggs etc. ?
Afterall we are 'nuking' aquarium for that sole purpose only.
Even your regular deworming or deflagellating process flushes out such protozoan eggs out of fish's system. Ever worried about that?  |

No!
PP oxidizes any organic load in the tank,So unless there is something internally in the fishes or the pp gets exhausted due to excessive bioload,total annihilation is obvious. |

@ Yogo-Dont we need to keep a regular temprature and salting the water of Hospital tank while deflagating?
PP will help the tank and equipment cleanup, but what have you done for water? |
