although a qt tank can be as simple as a 5 gallon bucket filled with 2 gallons water, a small powerhead and a bag of carbon for an hour to help soak up the extra RPS. doesn't have to be a whole other set up continually running

I usually snap the frag off the plug and if I don't I have a toothbrush to scrub the plug.

I just hate the idea of going through all that work for one frag but I should just buckle down and do it as its one dirty frag that can destroy my tank

I have been using this as a dip for a few years now. works very well and it is much cheaper than other dips, also seems to be less harsh on the acros. there has been a large amount of people that have used it with the same success. for nuisance algae hydrogen peroxide works very well.

unfortunately i dont think we can get pesticides that use the mechanism that bayer uses in canada. one would have to order it online. good reviews on that product though
