hello every body ..

i think the title do all the talk .. as i want to make my own medicines so i got a methylene blue powder , distilled water and i googled it ( how to make it ) i found no results .. so i thought may be i can get an answer here .. i have a formula but im not sure of it ..

do i have to add any other stuff rather than the methylene blue like formalin or green malachite or any other human medicine ?!!!
 
helloooo ... any body home !!

Not saying there is no one that would know... but you would probably need to ask someone like Oddball who i think actually works for a Public Aquarium and may have some knowledge regarding making / mixing your own meds...
 
anyway i have read on a site that the best is 4 grams per liter .. and i ll make it only 1 gram as a trial then will se what will happen on angel eggs and on fish fungi or ich .. and i ll put 1 cm formalin(40 % ) per liter
 
I used to work with malachite green, methylene blue, methyl red and brom-creosol green in a lab as titration tools.
They are all known carcinogens, so if you work with them, be very careful for your own sake, and for your fishes sake, make sure you weigh very carefully, and on very accurate balances.
Not difficult if you have the right equipment and formulas, but errors could be costly in many ways.
