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

I found this to be a great help on plant steralizing.

one cheap way is to dip them in potassium permanganate solution.
(i get it from my college's Chemistry Lab. for free!!)
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).,
