sorry, i misspoke in the video i think. i use half the dose for fry. for normal circumstances i would do 2mg/L so your math is correct. I will take this video down and repost as to avoid any confusion. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

I did this treatment on my discus and just 30 minutes was sufficient as the colour turned brown.. I do not know why 4 hours

once pp turns brown job complete, only takes 20mins

then you can either add more PP at a lower doseage, or you can do a big water change or neutralize the PP with hydrogen peroxide or Seachem Prime

Aquariums Of Peninsula you can buy it from a hardware store usually like Home Depot or Lowes.... can be any brand... PP is PP

best way to prevent 1mo / 4w sysndrome is lots of water changes for that first month.... tbh I don't even use a filter on my tanks for the first month usually because I'm changing enough water, and if I do its a small sponge. If you're going to PP you might as well remove filter media, run the tank through a PP treatment with empty canister so that the PP cycles thru the empty canister and piping, then if you want put back filter media in but make sure it is new or sterilized via hot water bath or something.

@@GVBDiscus thx for the reply, I did a pp treatment for 4 hours yesterday with filter media in, then after water change added nutrifin cycle, have been doing 75% water change daily and adding cycle to build up good bacteria, so far so good, I have 12 baby discuss in a 55 gallon which has a partition in it to keep the fry together, as they grow I will move partition

This is kill harmful bacteria so never keep any filtration or sponge in tank during treatment.. I have recently done a simple pp treatment video

read /watch as much as you can. try to keep a light pink coloration. if water turns brown/red quickly then do a big water change and try again

you used the word “should”, meaning you either dont know or havent tried, and i have done it many times and they dont die. so maybe dont comment on things you dont understand, or just listen to your buddy Gabe who’s setup is much different than a single tank PP treatment and see how that works out for ya, best of luck… to your fish

the brown means amount of PP used was exhausted, it does not mean that it has “finished working” and there’s no need to add more, please just stop, you clearly have no idea what youre talking about

Perfectly safe if you don't overdose like you did.

.32 gram as Mr D explained in a 5 gallon bucket. It's less complicated than trying for a bath for 4 hrs ( 2 mg/ Litre or .076 gram per 20 gallon for adult discus/ 0.95 mg for fry.
