Where did you get yours Don?

Where is Dez? Somebody tag him! Probably on a beach somewhere..

My thought is that this acts like ozone, and not just for algae issues. Water clarity, sand cleanliness, etc. Again, conceptually the idea is sound, just not sure what the risks are. I guess that's the issue, we don't know. Maybe I'll try it and see if anything implodes

I use mostly 3% and the water is clearer when I use it less film on inside glass. Also helps with cyno.
I have used stronger % when fighting algae and saw some positive results (black spine urchins work just as good)

Did a couple of small test rocks, took them out, scrubbed off whatever algae I could with a dish brush and then sprayed 3% H2O2 on it, rinsed it off after a few minutes with RODI. Looks a lot better already but we'll see if it really gets it.

I also torched the tiny aiptasia living on the rock that I had been lazy about dealing with.

fwiw , algae doesn't die instantly with h202 , it dies within 24-48hrs afterwards


for dipping a 4:1 tank water to peroxide ratio is more than enough to kill algaes
