Hi All,
Is there a way you can sterilise your plants to rid them of potential bacteria and parasites before putting them into your tank? I am going to purchase a few and don't want to risk introducing nasties!
Cheers

Does anyone know where you can purchase Pottasium Permanganate?
I read the article grch36 referred to and find it interesting that it disinfects your nets - with 4 tanks I am always worrying about transferring diseases between tanks ( touch wood so far I haven't had any diseases, but you never know - better to be safe than sorry).,
