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

I know target basting works, more wondering what dosing it full time does.

I dosed peroxide for a while.. Do/should monitor orp. Never had negative affects but might say water was clearer.

I talked to dez a couple months ago.. He quit dosing his dt.
If I remember correctly it was good but he just didn't feel like doing it any more
