Anubias and Glutaraldehyde

Hii!!!!

Hope you are doing well.
Since I am a novice to the plant scene...
I have 40 Gallon, 35 inch W X 19 inch D X 14 inch H Tank which has a few anubias plants. (Pic Attached)
I have a fully cycled canister filter for filteration and a normal 20 watt LED tube with 3000k and 5700 lumens.
I will be adding only two goldfishes in the set up for some poop fert for the plants.
My Anubias setup seems basic and I read somewhere about Glutaraldehyde and its use as carbon dosing.
I am planning to buy a 250 ml, 25% strength Glutaraldehyde (Pic Attached)

I wish to know how much distilled water to add to the 250ml Glut to make a good dosing solution.

I read in the post 4 liters of water to 250ml of Glut.

I have the following questions:

How long does the strength of the solution lasts once made?

Will it affect my plants, fish or my filter media?

How much ml milliliters of glut solution to add in my 40 gallon everyday for proper dosing.

Thank you

 

Don't, just don't. That stuff is a cancerogenous, strong desinfectant and kills water organisms very effectively. It is by no means an option as a fertilizer.

Also, Anubias are a genus of plants that can live without any fertilizers and thrive.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your response.

Thank God you made me aware before I took the step.

Thanks

 

I've had excel melt my anubias, I wouldn't do it if I were you.

 

I use Seachem Excel for out of control algae only. That's really what glutaraldahyde products are for. No idea why companies market them as "liquid carbon."

If you need to get rid of algae on plants, you can pull them and dip them in a mix of hydrogen peroxide and water. I don't remember the ratio off the top of my head.

 

Yeah, pump the brakes on that one!

Glutaraldehyde, usually sold under seachem excell, Is serious stuff, and should not be casually thrown in. Where did you even find such a large amount?

Any who, your anubias will not need any of that, or really any ferts at all. Anubias is known for easy care and minimal requirements.

Most use glut sparingly for an algaecide.
