I use peroxide when needed, but not in or anywhere near my tank, I'm not brave enough. I take out anything that needs it. If it's a plant, I get a container with treated water, spray the algae with 1 to 1 water/peroxide solution, let it soak in it, drop it in the container, then rinse later on when I want to put it back in my tank. But it's rarely used as i try everything else before I go chemical. I'm too worried about my fish lol. I wish I could be more brave about it! Fortunately I have little algae to deal with, so not too much anxiety! This seems good advice for if I ever have a bad issue with algae or work up the nerve to try to treat more directly lol.
@colinpeake8494 6 жыл бұрын
Only thing I use H2O2 for is BBA. All other algae types scrape or pull out. If you pull whatever BBA is attached to out of your tank then spray it that is significantly safer. I then rinse with some waste water from your water change. The risk of killing your fish is high if you just spray in the tank and most my investment is in fish. Plants are second priority in my tanks.

It also melts monte carlo a bit but it bounces back. I find using a plastic syringe more effective than spraying. I think as it sprays you end up losing some of the extra oxygen thats in the peroxide (considering its just highly oxygenated water or h202) Try a syringe and maybe make a video showing the difference, itll be sciencey. Right up your alley.

Usually when I start a new tank and I start to notice algae I dose a small amount of hydrogen peroxide(topical solution) into the aquarium depending on the size of your aquarium. I notice that this method works slowly but it does hold back the algae while you figure out how to keep the algae from booming.

All that hydrogen peroxide is staying in the tank...it doesnt matter what level you drop the water to. Unless you are removing it via a water change its just dripping down into the tank water until you dilute it when you fill the tank up.
@jacoballen2664 6 жыл бұрын
H2o2 is very unstable and will react very quickly with algae or any other organics. So the h2o2 he sprayed directly on the plants will have already reacted into o2 (oxygen) and h2o (water) by the time you fill the tank. Also having bright lights on the tank will accelerate the reaction.
@omegachar4754 5 жыл бұрын
That's not true, H2o2 naturally turns into water and oxygen. You can dump an entire bottle of H2o2 into a bucket and after a while it'll just be water.

I have been keep lights off for awhile and I've used filter floss and changing it.. and doing water changes... But do you have any suggestions on how to get it back to normal? Cuz it's so green! Thanks!!!

With planted tanks it's always a battle against algae. It could be things like too much light, not enough established plants to eat all the nutrients in the water and out compete the algae, not enough Co2 or ferts for the plants to thrive. It takes maintenance and effort to maintain a healthy, balanced tank where you don't have problems with algae.

"I like them, I feed them to my pufferfish" .. poor confused snails 😂 Also one thing to bear in mind for the ratio of hydrogen peroxide and water is that you have to account for the displacement of the rocks, gravel, plants etc when deciding how many gallons of water does the tank actually have. Another thing is to shut off the filtration system so you're not destroying valuable beneficial bacteria and I would use this stuff if you have any Riccia in the tank .I made that mistake before and learned the hard way unfortunately. The same thing holds true for the algaecide solutions made by Marineland . It'll destroy Riccia PDQ . Would have been nice if they had a warning about this on their label.
