I used my Cidex Plus for three months, and it seemed to work better and better, no sign of degrading.
I'm confused. I tried to buy some Cidex tonight and the current MSDS sheet says that it contains phthalaldehyde. Are you using this? Its a similar compound, but not the same.

Here's what I'm looking at, since I have an allmed in my town.

Also, Wavicide says it has glutaraldehyde in it, but it also mentions a surfactant, a mild fresh scent, and a rust inhibitor.... I've heard of its use in the aquarium before, but recently it seems like glutaraldehyde alternatives, and their information, is getting sparse.
