A new 4ft planted tank

[sushant]

Give your plants a 5 min bath in weak bleach, this will destroy any snail egg that can be transfered to the new tank.

Weak Bleach?

[sushant]

Weak Bleach?

5-10ml in 1/2 lts of water, soak the planesplants for 5 min and then wash and soak for another 5 min in plain water. you can alternatively use potassium permanganate too instead of bleach.

Will Potasium Permanganet damage the moss?

[SCORPIO]

Some plants are sensitive to Potasium permangnate like as Vals, Crypts. But I thought it will not effect mosses.
