4 Ounces of Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4); also known as Permanganate of Potash or Condy's Crystals. This chemical is a powerful oxidizer that does not generate any toxic byproducts. Potassium Permanganate is commonly used in emergency situations to ignite camp-fires. A few drops of Glycerin on a small mound of Potassium Permanganate will produce a spontaneous flame. Additionally, 50 milligrams of KMnO4 will make a liter of water safe to drink; while a more concentrated solution can be used as an antiseptic. Aquarists use Potassium Permanganate to treat Trichodina, Costia, Chilodonella, Gryodactylus, and Dactylogyrus; as well as to remove odors from tank water.
