Potassium Permanganate
Potassium Permanganate Solution is effective against external fish infections from fungi, bacteria and parasites, Trichodinia, Costia, Chilodonella and Flukes. It also improves water quality and clarity by clearing cloudy water of organics. Potassium Permanganate is a strong oxidizer.
Dosing Instructions
Water Clarity Dose (2 PPM)
- Use 1 oz. per 375 gallons pond water
- Use 8 oz. per 3000 gallons pond water
- Use half strength for maintenance.
Parasite & Bacterial Dose (4 PPM)
Use double the above dose @ 4 ppm Potassium Permanganate Solution. Repeat treatment every 3-4 days if needed for parasites.
Notes
Water should hold pink hue for at least 6 hours. Repeat dose if pink color disappears within 45 minutes. Repeat with half dose (1 ppm) if pink color disappears after 1-2 hours. By-Pass Bio Filter when using 3-4 ppm dose.
Caution: STOP active treatment immediately if fish show signs of extreme discomfort, such as jumping or gasping for air. Product should be neutralized (see below) if it remains active for 8 hours. DO NOT OVERDOSE!
How to neutralize: Use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to immediately neutralize (deactivate). Dose: 2 tbsp per 100 gallons (1 cup per 500 gal). Wait 4 days after neutralizing before treating again with Potassium Permanganate Solution. Do not use with any other treatments including water conditioners, dechlorinators, formalin, formaldehyde & medications.
