H202 tank treatment for algae

[PeterEde]

I have a pretty nasty GHA outbreak.
Dosing 10ML of 6% the last week and not seen much change except where i spot treated.
How long can i dose peroxide.
Tank is RS425XL.

I read somewhere a guy dosed a whole 100ml once a week.

Can you take the rocks out and dip in a 5 gallon bucket? Like this peroxide based dip

I don’t know how much one can dose to a tank before problems outweigh the possible benefit.

I generally recommend herbivores for such situations.

What sort of snails do you have?

I found Asterina's were good for GHA.

Spot treatment works well. You have to do it everyday a little at a time. This is purely anecdotal, but I have come to think snails and crabs find treated algae more appetizing.
