Where to get Formalin?

[Ross]

I've been searching for formalin to cure Brooklynella in my clown.
Any clues where I can actually buy this stuff?

Thanks,
Ross

If you can't find any locally, Ocean Aquatics used to stock Formalin 3. However, it may be too late by that time...

Added more about:

Aqueous solutions of formaldehyde are referred to as formalin. "100%" formalin consists of a saturated solution of formaldehyde (this is about 40% by volume or 37% by mass) in water, with a small amount of stabilizer, usually methanol to limit oxidation and polymerization.

I managed to get the last bottle of formalin - 3 at big als. It hasnt seemed to help out the poor little guy yet.

Shoppers, safeway, pharmasave, coop, etc all dont carry any. Id prefer to get the 37% stuff not the 3% that Kordon makes.

Well I'll look around more today.

Thanks guys,

Try a Co Op hardware store as well. I believe that farmers use it on Grain,I got a bottle there as well. Although it was a few years ago.
