Peroxide questions

[rantipole]

Hi,

I recently sprayed peroxide over a live rock to rid myself of some algae. It worked really well. Now, I see some bubble algae growing in on my clove polyp and blue sponge rock. So two questions:

Will peroxide kill bubble algae?
Will peroxide hurt the sponge?

Thanks!

Cheers,

No peroxide will not kill bubble algae. You have to pop it first (not in the tank) and then put on the peroxide for better redults but even that does not work 100 percent. Peroxide will harm the sponge.

Thank you. That's a drag. I'll have to figure something else out.

What i would do is scrape the algae off as you do water change so all the spores siphon out. Do it every time you do a wc and slowly the bb algae will dissapear

I also have some bubble on a frag rock holding a kenya tree. If I scrape, rinse & soak the base in peroxide? I wonder . Probably best to remove it from the frag & attach to another.
I want to move this softy to another tank "without" introducing any bubble spores.
