but using dry stuff without diluting has been deadly to so many koi. even diluted in
a plastic cup may not be diluted enough if they swim thru it. I would say dilute
into a 5 gallon container.
then there is the problem of correctly measuring out the right weight each time when
the weight is often a very small quantity. much easier to pour a stock solution out.
much less likely to get it wrong. Ingrid

He doesn't address the use of a stock solution. I make appropriate amout of
solution for each treatment using a plastic drink cup with water, measure in
the appropriate amount of PP, and then pour the liquid PP into the pond and
continue the dilution and rinsing of the cup with pond water. Storage of
the dry is easier than storage of preprepared stock solution.
