Message: [QUOTE="Waterbug, post: 219785, member: 2322"] You are seriously mistaken. Seriously. As in leading people into danger. I find most posts pretty funny but this isn't. The low concentration you're referring to is inside the pond, assuming the dose was right. You may not be aware but before it gets into the pond you have mix the solid into a slurry. That concentration, you know, the one 12" from your face and 1" from your hands, is a very high concentration. Splash a little of that in your eye and tell me what you see...pretty sure it's going to be nothing...forever. And we're talking about a large amount. Mixing up a small batch to dip a few plants has much less chance of causing burns and blindness if you happen to trip or drop the slurry just because there's less of it. It could still do serious damage so to me proper safety equipment should still be used, but pond level doses are really serious. That makes perfect sense to me that you hadn't heard that one. Your posts reflect that lack of understanding. Try reading any, [B]and I mean any[/B], MSDS for potassium permanganate and you will be enlightened...if you choose to be enlightened. To say that makes me think you've never used it. How in the world could you possibly come to that conclusion??? That post is a year old and you're telling me you still have no experience with PP but feel you have the experience (0) to tell other people it's safe to use???? That is just mind blowing. And why the internet is such a dangerous place. So a couple of people posted they used it and their fish didn't die so therefore it's safe for everyone??? I just don't have the words for how incredibly....aggggggggg You don't see the problem there? First time user judging what's sufficient? How exactly do they judge having no experience? OK, that's actually good test. Anyone reading this, and pretty sure it's just the 2 of us, if you can't see the logic problem there then that's a very good indicator that you are not ready to use PP. Oh yeah, of course there are dangers with everything so don't worry about all those scary MSDSs? PP is cheap. Replacing fish is also cheap. Going blind, also cheap. Based on your experience? Why in the world would other oxidizers be less effective? Makes no sense. What, are you talking gram for gram type deal? What does that have to do with anything? I've only talked about the danger aspect and haven't even gotten into the problems with using PP for algae control in something as big as a Water Garden. But I see no reason for that. I'm pretty sure virtually every person who reads this thread and thinks PP is a great idea and safe will have second thoughts once they have to fill out and send in the hazmat waiver to get some shipped to them. And I guess for people that go thru that and still think it's better to listen to someone on the internet who has zero experience with this stuff...well good luck. I'm not saying people shouldn't use PP...I'm saying be careful where you read about using it. [/QUOTE]
