Had this question in a different area in this forum, thought I would try it here. . . Anyone tried this while running an ATS? Lately I have seen some talk about dosing it directly ot the display to help control diatom outbreaks with some success. I have also seen threads around about using H2O2 to dip frag plugs in to kill HA. . . See where I am going here? I wonder what effect it would have on the algae sheet if one were to dose the diplay. So thoughts or experiences?

Hydrogen peroxide is the simplest peroxide. It is an oxidizing agent like hypochlorite (bleach) or ozone. Strong enough doses will cause white spots on skin temporarily. It can not be used selectively within an aquarium.
