I have found Potassium permanganate to be a useful tool in for the management of bacteria and external parasites. It has the advantages of bleach but is readily neutralized without the lingering chlorine! I would disinfect my lined pond with it as part of my spring cleaning before filling and restocking. It also came in handy when the large Koi became itchy and were starting to jump. One carefully administered dip treatment and all was well.
My main frustration was having to hunt for the research material before each use to confirm doses. The information was out there, but scattered.
The common uses and doses for Potassium permanganate are in the attached file. Use carefully!
