Hydrogen peroxide to Remove Hair Algae in Planted Aquarium

Hydrogen Peroxide for Treating Hair Algae -
If your aquarium is infested with stubborn green algae, for example, or blue-green algae, we highly recommend treating the entire tank with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Such a treatment should always be considered the last resort, and it should only be applied when the standard methods have failed and you're about to just give up on your aquarium because you cannot get rid of the algae. Use a dosage as high as necessary and as low as possible in order to spare the animals in your tank undue stress. Certain plants like Riccardia sp. (coral moss) or Riccia fluitans (liverwort) may be damaged in the course of this treatment. Some other aquatic plants may turn a lighter color temporarily, but this is not necessarily a sign that the plant is dead.

I’ve a 170 gallon pond with water Lily’s string algae became so obnoxious, drained and sprayed with 3% HP Turned white, days latter brown. filled it back up🤞🏻 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 one of the best sanitizers!

[@arindambarthakur]

Montecarlo looks totally affected,not little affected

[@dranuragprasad]

You could have tried putting a Siamese algae eater fish. I've read it eats black hair algae effectively.

[@FwrapperAqua]

OK.. But I heard that siamese algae eater will finish up some varieties of moss so I did not try them

[@dranuragprasad]

@@FwrapperAqua oh.. ok

[@dadul20]

@@FwrapperAqua i have 2 SAE in my tank and they don't eat any moss or plant. they are extremely effective algae cleaner. just dont feed them fish food otherwise they will quit eating algae.

[@asifali007]

SAE eaters eats hair algae but as they grow bigger they attack other small fish and may eat anything that fits their mouth so ottocinculus is much better choice for this

[@pankajmani863]

Hi brother I have shrimp in my tank should i use this to remove algae

[@nimishrai1363]

You could have taken out the fish and then proceeded with the h. peroxide treatment.

[@naturepetlovers1117]

Hlo sir can we use any brand of hydrogen peroxide ?? Please help ??

[@chriscortez7010]

Safe for fish right?

[@FwrapperAqua]

Please see the video fully.... I have shown everything...

[@bubblerings]

Not safe for the Oto that got into it directly. His gills were bleached.. Died. Maybe the algae eating fishes should be removed until the water change..

[@rahulpawartube]

why don't you add amono shrimp? i heard that they do eat lot of algae.

[@FwrapperAqua]

Tried it did not help so only last resort was hydrogen peroxide...

[@akashrenigme5709]

Fwrapper Aqua , upon googleing I found baby Siamese algae eaters are known for having ravenous appetite for hair algae . Though they can be easily mistaken for a fish called flying fox

[@FwrapperAqua]

@@akashrenigme5709 I already mentioned this in an earlier comment.. Siamese algae eater will eat up the moss also... So I did not add them..

[@sj1806]

I have siamese algae eater in my planted tank that contain moss, this dude do good work to the tank. I didn't notice he eat moss

[@soulcalibre4891]

Is this 3% or 6% Hydrogen peroxide?

[@asifali007]

3% recommened if using in planted tank with livestock and dont forget to turn off filter when dosng for an hr else you kill all beneficial bacteria

[@black-adder]

I have moss in there will h2o2 kill those too?

[@FwrapperAqua]

Too much of it Will spoil your plants

[@hanzlaqurishi843]

Pleas make a video on gills fungus

[@FwrapperAqua]

I am working on it... I have actually made a video on pp treatment...

[@jpsavlogs1373]

So sad about the algae eater and how to tell i dont know Like without green algae and hair algae we can't maintain it So much of maintenance is needed im asking sir...

[@FwrapperAqua]

Yes maintenance for every fish tank is very very important..

[@jpsavlogs1373]

@@FwrapperAqua normal tank vs simply planted requires more maintenance ?? Sir

[@shahidabdulla4708]

Im hydrogen peroxide in 12ltr tap water? Cz voice not clear?

[@brandondeatherage6812]

This was a super helpful and wholesome video. I really appreciate you, thank-you. :)

[@Rehmanisam]

Sir, I just Bought photo carb, where iam facing same issue, aquarium shop owner had suggested shall I use it sir.

[@FwrapperAqua]

No idea about that

[@manishh2519]

Were you using daily hydrogen peroxide or only on water change day?

[@FwrapperAqua]

Only 2 times I used it and did water change after that

[@sumathykumar4747]

Sir whats the exact water temperature for discuss fish

[@FwrapperAqua]

Please watch my video on how to keep Discus... Everything is explained in that...

[@diptijalvi6758]

Make a video on discus fish

[@FwrapperAqua]

I have made 70+ videos on Discus Fish... Please tell some topics that I have missed and which you want me to make a video on

[@jsduun9]

of course do not do this at home, it is obvious that the inhabitants should have been removed before. hydrogen peroxide is very aggressive with all living things. the algae will come back stronger ...

[@dylanhughes5944]

it's 1 ml per gallon lol
