the stuff is beyond fascinating and dangerous. The safety chem signs about man with a chemical burn hand were written specifically for it, yet they sell it otc as plain as day. If one could liquefy a pit viper yet still keep it alive and hungry, that's 35 heh
But it does neat stuff beyond mowing algae and reacting in regrettable ways with living materials, dumped in a years old change water cleaning bucket with the brown scum bottom it reacts strongly, loudly, w foam encore
And in a cup, glass or plastic bag, nothing. It was neat to find organic components proven by reaction sequence
So I thought, the null might claim the calcium carbonate was reacting with the oxidation, not sure how that works chemically. I've been soaking an old caulastrea skeleton in thirty five for half an hour, with one percent initial fizz, potentially old jerky tissue, and no skeletal weakening per the press of my thumbnail calibrated hydraulics compression testing. I take all this to mean the bucket for sure has organics and or peroxidase bacteria which is feeding on something, and that I'd really like to know why calcium carbonate doesn't react with that much oxidizer to weaken matrix etc. where peroxide thirty five reacts, it's a buzzsaw of doom. Where organics are not, it seems innocuous but not to everything, one drop ruins Formica so not all hard surfaces are immune. I also take away that Formica must have an organic component is that the case
Thirty five appears to be an amazing handy useful dangerous favorite reef chem, it can be used as a bioindicator it seems based on reactions around the house. Heckuva drain cleaner.
