Would this do?

32 fl oz (I'm assuming US fl oz) equates to 0.95 L. Glutaraldehyde 3.4% and Inert Ingredients 96.6%

Works out at £34.91 delivery to Essex.

Correct me if I'm wrong but liquid carbon must be dosed daily as it "disolves" in 24 hours yet we do the same thing with glut and store it for weeks?

It dissolves in water in 24 hours, you can store it in a bottle indefinitely.

So how can it be dissolving in water in 24h yet I can store it dissolved in water... ?

Because it can't evaporate or get eaten by plants when it's stored in a container. Unless you have really hungry plants, in which case I suggest fire. Lots of fire.

I thought that its about chemical degradation, some kind of reaction with water..... It doesn't make sense

I'm not qualified enough to give you an exact answer, but from what I do know, matter cannot be destroyed, only re-arranged. If it's stored in a container, it's either going to turn into a gas or be transformed into heat, neither of which I don't think you have to worry about as long as it's stored in a cool place.

I think it degrades in the tank due to light, hence most liquid carbon products I've used come in white plastic bottles not opaque.

 

[naughtymoose]

So maybe we should think of it as having been 'consumed' rather than 'dissolved'?
