[Truck]

i would use the king british one because its cheaper...then do a weeks dose and then use carbon for a few days but keep replacing it

so after a weeks dose, how long do i have to use carbon? iv only got one pack of carbon do i need to replace alot?

i would use it for 3 days...replace the carbon daily

would a large water change get it out?
it will cost me a fortune replace carbon for my ex1200 everyday

the water changes will help a bit...but the carbin will get rid of it all...you dont have to buy the tetratec carbon pads you can buy different ones and cut them up

so just to confirm. (first time i done this) Dose for a week, then stop and use carbon for 3 days with new everyday?

i will contain something that is lethal to inverts ir might be formalhyde

EDIT

it contains malichite (a copper compound)

 

[sjolliff]

Contains malachite green (4% solution)
1.0% w/w, acriflavine 0.005% w/w and quinine sulphate 0.004%ww

Will a bottle of king british be enough for your pond? as it is a solution meant for treating aquariums?
I would have gone with something like TAP professional Copper solution

Cheers
does it contain copper?

yes....so it will kill all inverts

Funny you should say that. I have treated my tank for White Spot before (Ok it was like over a year ago), and my Apple Snail is fine.

i just found 3 little snails in my other tank which are storing plants,
and put them into a glass with some white spot control and there still alive and no signs of anything.
i was just seeing how it works
