    H2O2 to control diatoms. . .

    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?

    I think this would have ill affects on the algae screen. Maybe if you turned off your algae scrubber water supply until the hydrogen peroxide is broke down. Which happens in about 48 ours when exposed to light. I would think having your scrubber off for 48 hours would not be good. If you scrubber is working properly I would think this would not be an issue.
