Got rid of my GHAI think it is an overrated "miracle" that relies on acting like a placebo

FWIW, folks should recognize that hydrogen peroxide can do more than just decompose into O2 and H2O. Specifically, it can alter the forms of trace elements present.
Apparently, for example, hydrogen peroxide can reduce cupric ion (Cu++, the normal form in seawater) to cuprous ion (Cu+) and can oxidize ferrous ion (Fe++) to ferric ion (Fe+++).
If you do not know the concentrations of tin in the stabilizer (and how common it is) - why do you warn people for it ?Most, if not all Hydrogen Peroxide found at the store contains stabilizers, tin is commonly used as a stabilizer but there are others as well. I have no idea what the concentrations are, read about h2o2 stabilizers if you'd like to know more about the commonly used ones. If one was able to find a diluted h2o2 solution without any stabilizers, that would not contain tin.
Any prove of that statement? And if it is stabilized with Sodium citrate ? Do you know which are stabilized with tin? You just state that most are. But EKA HP-T is a very common used hydrogen peroxide - and it is not stabilized with tin.and almost (if not all) hydrogen peroxides found on the shelves are stabilized.
there is a lot of Food Grade 35 % without stabilizer on the market - especially in the USCorrect as above. We only ever recommend food grade. I was editing my post to ensure the wrong alarmist information is nipped in the bud. Food grade is what is always recommended with any chemical, if its available, we might add to.our tanks.
The Fe works as an catalyst for the breakdown of H2O2 too. I am dosing Fe on a regular base. Triton always report 0 in Fe. By the way - do you know which oxidation state marine algae prefer?Apparently, for example, hydrogen peroxide can reduce cupric ion (Cu++, the normal form in seawater) to cuprous ion (Cu+) and can oxidize ferrous ion (Fe++) to ferric ion (Fe+++).

I figured its worth people knowing that it is used as a stabilizer in some cases, regardless of knowing the exact concentrations.If you do not know the concentrations of tin in the stabilizer (and how common it is) - why do you warn people for it ?
I know the answers and i also know the normal concentrations and also that tin is one of many different stabilizers but not in use for example in EKA HP-T (technical grade) However in their Food grade product EKA HP-F there is a low tin stabilizer incorporated.

Myself - I am only buying Söchtings own 12 % solution. It is tested since around 1980 in many aquariums. I use 2 dl 12% every 14 days in my aquarium (Oxydator A) - Have done that for nearly 5 years now. I think that my 20 ICP test during this time talk by itself about the danger with hydrogen peroxide and tin ..... Not any regular or large WC since summer 2018. The two peaks fit in with two WC.

Many people claim to have seen Bigfoot or to being abducted by space aliens too.I see many recommendations that people add hydrogen peroxide to their tank for various issues. It usually seems this does nothing for them. Why are people doing this? I would never put this in my tanks. Most h202 contains tin
And people that still think that the earth is flat - because we have not enough of dataMany people claim to have seen Bigfoot or to being abducted by space aliens too.
Dang we still use peroxide on our scrapes, I can’t say last time I used it that it hurt or left a chemical burn tho….Growing up in the 80's pouring H2O2 on kids wounds was pretty common. It's not really done anymore presumably because chemical burns hurt and soap works fine.
