Hi guys I'm trying to setup new tank because of scud infestation on my current one. Sadly I have all my plants mostly mosses from the scud infested tank.

Anyone know how to quarantine these plants?

pp dip?

Proxide dip, I think that is what Hedge Fund did, and it worked

Yup, I did a peroxide dip but I do not recall the actual concentration. Search for a thread that I started about dipping a fissidens branch to kill snails.

If you have a ton of scuds I would be REALLY REALLY careful before introducing any plants. After the dip you should run the plants under a stream of water and then let them sit in a bucket stirring them every few minutes. You will be surprised that you'll keep on finding more scuds. :icon_eek:

Thank you all! I'm going to try it

okay so... PP = Potassium permanganate or did you use Hydrogen peroxide?
and how long of a dip?

Catch all the scuds and I'll take them
