Metro colloid state

[Chinaman]

Big Al's carries a product called Hole In Head Guard... they have it on the shelves almost all the time.  It is metro cut with salt.  I don't know why everyone always says metro is hard to come by... I have never had issues getting it.

Plus, another brand they carry is the Hikari Metro +.  Again, it is rarely if ever not on the shelf when I walk past.

Don't mean to thread jack, but I have had difficulty getting the Hikari Metro+ to
form a homogeneous solution.  It tends to form a colloid.  Is this common among
this forum?

Cheers,

Sam

Yes it does and this is normal.  Or at least, in my experience, it has never caused adverse affects nor has it impacted the treatment of the fish in question.

does the hikari metro work well? i thought it might be a better bargain than the seachem metro..but it seems to say to use alot more..bigger spoonfuls..so use as much in the end even if it is a bigger bottle.
oh and what is colloid?
