Hey Monster Fish Keepers,

Just wondering what you think is the best type of water to mix with medications for the creation of stock solutions?
Mostly, I have encountered medications being mixed with distilled water. Distilled water has 0 TDS, therefore dry powders/crystals of medicines dissolve more easily.
In my medical arsenal, I like to keep powder/crystals of Acriflavine, Malachite Green and Methylene Blue.

Please share your thoughts.

Personally never thought about mixing powdered Methylene Blue with Distilled water. I just mix with tap but make enough not to store.

I also use distilled water. I don't want to be caught off guard if the water authority decides to temporarily add more chloramine for those few times a year.
