Ron.b4 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Hi, Do you find that the 35% Food grade Hydrogen Peroxide diluted down to 3% is safer or more effective than the standard Walmart 3% with the stabilizers?

OblongShrimp Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 What are you using it for? If you are just using it to kill algae I have used both and haven't noticed any difference if you are just spot treating algae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron.b4 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I'm currently using the common 3% at 1.5ml per gallon tank wide to reduce string/BBA algae and to keep the Hydra under control. My main question is if the stabilizers could be a problem. It seems like the 3% is not very effective dosed once a week. The algae only pull back for a short time and then are right back again. The tanks are real low light with only shrimp and a 20% water change every 2 week. I've seen it suggested that the stronger 35% diluted down to 1.5ml per gal is both more effective and safer for the shrimp, implying that the stabilizers are a negative. But I don't see any discussion here abut it. Has anyone here tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
