Peroxide

[Rjondo13]

This is a two part question.

So I have been looking into using peroxide to get rid of hair algae.
Has anyone done this and have any tips? And does anyone thing that peroxide will help get rid of vermited snails?

PEROXIDE IS HIT AND MISS WITH ALGAE. You have to inject direct into algae and hope for best.
Liquid vibrant however will get rid of the algae.
Also utilize clean up crew: turbo snail , astrea snail, margarita and conch snails.

On vermetid- peroxide=- NO effect. gel superglue over the hole WILL work

agreed on vermetid, nothing. i did 35% on them, nothing.


regarding effective gha curing with it/a landslide:

Reef2Reef Pest algae challenge thread hydrogen peroxide

What you are really in for: Hand cleaning, hard work siphon and rasp-removing of accumulations and invasions outside the tank and doing massive water changes is 90% of this thread, peroxide is 10%. We almost never dose peroxide into the tank water, this is a you-work-physically-hard as catch-up...

we attack your whole tank, not the algae lol. that part comes last. peroxide is 10% of the cure.

I dare anyone to apply the tenets of that thread and post a GHA tank in a week.

in the thread: are there happy reefers with great after pics, or mad reefers with terrible after pics and updates over time

I've used it with great results for bryopsis patches and GHA patches. I turn off all flow, measure out 1ml per gallon and use a pipet to immerse the algae with the h2o2 and let the tank sit with no flow for 10mins. Every patch I've hit has died. It does tick of zoas and some other corals so avoid blasting them directly with it.

As for vermited snails, like above said it does nothing, glue the tube shut or pick the out from the base.
