I have been managing my GHA issue for a few weeks now, I got my nitrates and phosphates down using an ATS but still dealing with the GHA.
Today I started pulling rocks and scrubbing them 1 a day as best I can, you know that's not an easy chore.
I came across several articles and videos on hydrogen peroxide as a solution for the immediate problem not the long term solution and I am curious.

Does this have an impact on pods, I currently have a healthy population that came with a ball of cheato and multiplied like crazy.

Does this affect CUC, I have snails and an urchin.

If it kills GHA indiscriminately, I guess I'll have to pull the ATS until it dissipates. How long before I can hook up the ATS after dosing.

This really intrigues me and am looking forward to giving it a shot.

Thanks for the info!!!

Give your scrubber a chance friend. You can increase the light or make it double sided, which in turn produces reactive oxygen species (needs a lot of light). Lots of folks back in the day reported reduction of display GHA and increased water clarity whilst not necessarily reducing Phosphate and Nitrate to limiting levels. I actually found a massive reduction in film algae on the glass. Yes, H2O2 effects pods.
