Default Algae treatment zoas

Hey guys,

I found a site that suggested using half tank water and half hydrogen peroxide for a quick 5 min dip for zoas that are starting to be covered in algae. I tried it last night and it worked amazingly. The algae is now almost all gone and the zoas are starting to come back out.

Thought I would share.

It's that green algae that likes to spread over new rocks, you know that algae. My zoas were completely covered in it and a 5 min dip and by the next day it was gone and the zoas looked much better.

I believe it is called Green Film Algae.
