Learn how to treat your whole aquarium with Hydrogen Peroxide. Super easy to follow video on how and why we use H2O2.
25 to a maximum of 35 ml of the 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide per 50 liters of water. PLEASE START LOW IF YOU HAVE FISH IN YOUR AQUARIUM.

Very encouraging video for anyone struggling with algae, since your situation was way worse than most people, and the tank was saved.

I've watched one of your videos before this one and, as a new aquarist, enjoy how detailed you can be about your techniques and the reasons behind them. At times, I find it difficult to hear you over the music backing due to a hearing impediment. Keep up the good work and remember the more info the better. Thats why people are likely clicking!!

3% of H2O2, 30ml per 50 l of water. Sorry friend, I'm not this kind of an ass but the music had almost triggered me a migraine. Had to listen many times to get it. Still gave you a like. And I will check your channel.

I have a mild algae problem and after trying algaecide and bale extract the problem remains. Pond contains approximately 550 gallons of water,it has an adequate pump to circulate the water through a waterfall (which i shut off before pouring the oxygen peroxide) a biological filter, 4 small koi, 4 goldfish and a few water plants (planning to add more). I suspect the small pieces of moss I used to cover the liner that have fallen into the water are supplying nutrients for algae. I watched your video and used 3% normally found at pharmacy at the rate just below the 1/2 cup per each 100 gallons and watched for about an hour but didn't see any bubbling nor improvements in water clarity. Just the other day I checked for nitrite, nitrate and ph levels and they all checked out.What's your take on my situation? Thanks

I have a 130l Aquarium so what dosage do you recommend

@chrispowell6594 3 жыл бұрын

With 3% HP I would use 15ml per 50L to begin.. if everything is fine give it 5 days and do 20Ml per 50L. Always have fresh water ready to water change. This is just a precaution but best to have ready

You said this won't really hurt the plants or fish but what about snails? I have a BEAUTIFUL gold Incan that has been one of the centerpiece pets that I have in my 10 gallon planted tank and the absolute LAST thing I want to do is harm him or my half dozen neon tetras.

My honest answer is I wouldn't like to risk anything, you could remove live stock if the tank needed to be treated
