Nolvasan in water dish?

[Kurt]

It's a disinfectant purposely made for zoological use. Its little bit like bleach, but not nearly as caustic.

It is also known as chlorohexidine. Many vets use it to clean wounds and as a general antiseptic cleaning agent. I just had my dog in the vet for a cut on his leg and they flushed it out using nolvasan. I just ordered some from amazon under the name chlorohexidine and it was a fraction the cost of nolvasan even though its the same exact chemical. A gallon of it was $12 as opposed to 16oz being $20 under the nolvasan branding. I plan on using it to clean my tanks and tank furniture.

That's what we used it for at the Museum of Science.

So essentially it is just a good safe cleaner? how does it affect plants?
