Is it ok to dose dry dose plantex CSM +B on my 55G? Why do people put it in solution anyways?
Sorry to bring up a dead thread, but is it possible to use vinegar in place of HCL when using CSMB premixed in water?I have experience dosing both ways. If made into solution, care should be taken or mold/fungus (not sure what it is) that grows. I had better success when using a darker bottle (H202 bottle is great for this and real cheap at drug store). Keeping it in the refridgerator does slow the process, but it usually comes around anyway.
I have heard of people using anti-fungal medication in very low doses with some success.
I found the best results by dosing similar to Stagger, but I use a small tuberware with a lid. Add aquarium water and ferts, then shack the wonkers out of it to really get it saturated into solution.
Good luck with whatever way you choose to do it!
