I don't think that it requires near as much time at the higher concentration
as it does at the lower concentration. The reason for the low concentration
in the pond is to make it strong enough to kill the critters, without
killing the fish, and that means it takes longer. I use a heavy dose of PP,
about 1/4 tsp in 10 gallons of water, set the plants in it and then plant
them the next morning.

One of my 'gift' plants is doing very poorly possibly because of my salt
treatments. I am looking for something new. You can be sure after all my
troubles I WILL treat the plant before I put it in the pond. I was
planning
to just use the duct tape of ponders - the 5 gallon bucket - add
dechlorinated water - submerge the plant just a few inches below water
level
and blast the heck out of it with PP. How strong can I douse it and do
you
still have to wait the 4-6 hours pink water if you are doing say 80 ppm
for
instance?
