    Provent-a-mite Question

    Quick question about this product, its good stuff and I'm really liking how its dealing with these pesky little things. But can it be used in glass aquariums? I know it works with the plastic tubs, but I cant find anything on the directions if its safe for glass or not.

    Yes it can just make sure to let it air out before putting the animal back in.

    What I was told for viv's, is to treat the substrate outside of the enclosure, once dry put it in. This will keep the glass from getting all fogged up with PAM.

    Just don't hit the glass directly with it to avoid dirty glass, and cover up the tank for a bit to let it work. I usually cover the tank for 30 min, then air it out for 30 min before even checking the tank to make sure it's aired out. Take a quick sniff, if you still smell PAM, let it air out longer.
