Hydrogen Peroxide H202 for bleach & wound okay to use?

I understand they have stabilizer agent in it, so was wondering if anyone that ever uses Hydrogen
Peroxide, do you exclusively only use the food grade version?

I use the stuff off the shelf. I figure I use so little that the stabilizers shouldn't cause a problem. Some stabilizers are also completely harmless in your system, such as nitrate. Not sure if we can find out which stabilizer is used in a specific brand though.

3% H202 @ 1ml per gallon dosage, which seems to be the commonly accepted minimum dosage.

I really meant are you treating a whole tank, or a rock outside of it.

Is this to kill algae?

Treating the whole tank and to kill algae. And i also heard many beneficial of h202, clearer water, kills free flying algae spores.

I'm not a huge fan of adding it in general (I don't believe in magic bullets ), but I think the normal 3% from a pharmacy is OK to use.
