Dose in alternate days.

You can inject directly in the tank by a syringe. Daily dose 3 ml to 4 ml. But start from lower dose.
aawnaik wrote:3. Is there any shelf life for Glut, I mean expiry?
Make another bottle to store around 50-100 ml Gluteraldehyde and use this bottle for daily dose. Main bottle should not open frequently.

Keep it away from light. Better to keep it in dark. Always use brown bottle.

Use 1 ml of 20% solution in 35 litre of water.

All of the plants mentioned by you are safe with Glut. Clossosistigma elatinoides grows like as weed with Gluteraldehyde in sufficient light.
