Want to buy PP powder


Recommended Posts

not too sure what the name of it but it use to increase orp reading

is it the one i'm looking for

Looking at the context in which it is used, I am 80% sure it is Potassim Permanganate. This is a purple coloured powder used to dis-infect fresh water aquarium or pond. It is very effective against parasitic infection. I have not heard of this being use in a reef aquarium. I would strongly suggest you research more before trying it.

There are also a few other ways which you can increase your ORP reading;

1.Increasing the capacity of filter media to increase filtration is one good way to improve ORP reading. Good mechanical and biological filtration systems, regular clearance of collected solids keeps ORP levels up by removing the solid organic waste.

2.Sufficient supply or aeration, air pump, water fall from OHF with trickle tower filtration will help. Trickle tower bio-filters provide better level of oxygen to the aerobic bacteria which act as bio-filtration. Cooler water also has a higher level of dissolved oxygen in the tank to give a higher ORP reading.

3.Overfeeding brings down ORP readings. Similarly, an overcrowded aquarium will have a higher bioload that brings down ORP readings.

4.Use of activated carbon is good to remove DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon), increases the ORP levels of the water by removal of pollutants from the water. However, the activated carbon needs to be replaced or changed, after duration of 6 to 8 weeks.

i am also using a products called " Bio-clay" which i notice a sight increase in ORP reading whenever i mix and dose into the tank once a week. You can find this products in C328 or Polyart. Hope it helps..
