any dips that will kill algae?

[tclipse]

I have some hair algae growing on a few frags, I want it dead before it spreads.... are there any dips that will kill the algae but not my corals?

Hydrogen peroxide

I have had Coralrx kill off algae on frag plugs

Thanks for the responses, the peroxide dips obliterated the HA.

+1 on the peroxide... Only works as a dip on frags thou not a full tank treatment... Unless it's dinos...

Any more details on this like amount of time dipped, how save is it, etc.?

+1. Would like a little more info as well. How do you use it? Is there a water to peroxide ratio or just pure peroxide? How safe is it? Were can I get it?

1-10 over the counter peroxide mixed with your tanks water. 5-10 minutes is a pretty good time frame.

I use a mixture of 30 % hyrogen peroxide to 70 % tank water for 2 minutes.
Then after the dip I hold the frag in front of a powerhead for 10-15 seconds to make sure all the hp is off the frags.
