Dissolving Plantex CSM+B

nquint1 · Nov 14, 2007

I have always had trouble getting Plantex CSM+B to dissolve in water before I put it in the tank, no matter how much I stir it. I am currently putting 1/4 teaspoon of Plantex in 1/2 cup of water. I haven't tried using more water. Does anyone else have this problem?

I mix my solutions and put em in the fridge til i need em. i shake the bottle and then dose. It usually dissolves without problem.

try dissloving the solution in 1 cup of tank water , use a bottle to shake it very well.

i have a little cup i use for ferts. i just get some tank water put the ferts in shake it up some and toss it in the tank. never had a problem.

try more water like bkw1982 said. if it isnt 100% dissolved it will be ok.

haven't used Plantex, but could you just dose it directly?

I drop it straight in the tank. I have those tiny little spoons and add 1/16 of a tsp. every other day. Haven't noticed any problems with doing it that way.

My only concern is that my fish freak out whenever I dose the tank. They think they're being fed. I don't know that they have actually eaten it, I'm just worried about them doing so.

its all natural. plus ur dosing such a small amount compared to the water volume tht it wont harm the fish.

pouring it in front of the filter output will help distribute it in the tank, tht way u can avoid any dense areas.
