A few weeks ago there was a post re the use of potassium permanganate dips
to rid newly acquired plants of snails, hydra, etc. At what concentration is
KMnO4 used for this purpose? Is it effective as a net dip? Kordon, which
apparently sells a KMnO4 formulation as "Permoxyn," claims that it is a
"highly effective treatment for improving water quality by the oxidation of
organic matter." What's the experience of the list in this regard?
