Bottle for glut?

[Atxpunx]

I don't seem to have an empty seachem bottle and it's slow going to empty my current bottle of flourish. Has anyone seen anything on eBay ok for gluteraldehyde to go into ( opaque bottle, 100-500ml )? Thanks for any info.

They use to say it's light sensitive, now they say it's not. I still get metricide in a white jug so I put it in a white bottle.

+1 just find an opaque bottle. I like the 500ml api bottles because they have a foser cap, just dump out the contents and use it for prime

Same here. It shows up in clear'ish bottles which I put away in the cupboard. For dosing I just use an old opaque bottle.

I have picked up sauce bottles (from dollar stores) for ferts dosing. But went with a good bottle for storing glut so I don't accidentally get any on me (since the solution is 10%).

Does anyone have a link to a purchasable bottle? My problem is not having one. I might just buy some prime and dump it to use the bottle (I have well water).

You could just spray paint a water bottle.

Hope one of these helps?
I keep my glute in the original 1g bottle which is white.
I still believe exposure to light or air will degrade this product prematurely.

It does break down in light.

Never thought about it before, but many people are running sunsun canisters with attached uv sterilizers.

Hmm, wondering now too.

Any thoughts on what it degrades to? Wondering if uv just speeds up the process (I guess plants would get less time to use it though) or if it degrades to something different?

I could try switching off the UV unit and see if any difference to BBA / plant growth? Not sure how else to test this.

I run a sunsun w uv... hmmmmmmm....

My best bet is that it breaks down into a series of hydrocarbons.

Ah, makes sense.

I'm not sure how much difference it will make but I'll switch UV off for a few weeks and see if any change.
