I have green Cyano/algae problem after dosing Vibrant. All over sand bed and rock.
my phosphate level used to read 0.05-0.07 and nitrate 20ppm after i stop Vibrant dosing.
i have been dosing Hydrogen Peroxide 10ml/10g for 150g tank, so 15ml morning and night. Today is my 14th day dosing hydrogen peroxide, cyano or algae on sand/rock has not make a dent at all.
what i have noticed was, 7 days into hydrogen peroxide dosing, my phosphate has increased from 0.07ppm to 0.36ppm. Nitrate 5ppm.
I have just tested again today (7 days later), and phosphate had jumped to 0.97ppm while nitrate remain 5ppm. test done on Hanna checker for phosphate and Salifert for Nitrate.
I have not done any water change during hydrogen peroxide dosing. My speculation is that hydrogen peroxide must be stopping algae from growing, hence phosphate remains in the water column?
Now, do i stop after 14 days dosing or continue on... and see where this will lead me to.
