Been battling GHA for a little bit now. I run carbon and gfo as well as consistent water changes, feeding is never overfed, and no green/red light running.
This is a 15 gallon nano, would it be safe to add H2O2?

also doing a blackout rn to help control the algae and see if that helps. I can see the gha growing on my clove colony so I think it’s time to do something before I move.

In conjunction with lights out, you can squirt peroxide at base of GHA with a small pipette

I’ve read that online but since I have a nano, would I be over dosing it? If I was to squirt it at base of gha I’d have to do it like 20 times because it’s scattered throughout the tank

No, safe to use as peroxide is mainly water with an oxidizer.
