Hey Mark great info! Thanks! Just wondering how often do you recommend to put H2O2 in a tank?

@Flyingdutchy33 5 лет назад

Excellent! I just performed the treatment as per specifications to my 150L and 200L fish tanks and it appears to have some magical effects. I've noticed increased pearling from the plants afterwards and all fish are more active. The perscribed dosage was a little on the low side, as not a lot was happening. I then hit the tank after about 30-45 minutes with a syringe with another half dose in a more focused manner and thats when the real magic started. tons of bubbles from the stuff reacting! I think I'm going to make this part of my waterchange routine. Siphon water out, treat the lower volume of water, let it sit and refill. Possibly hit it with a small shot of fresh bacteria, too!

Everyday/everyotherday/everyweek dosing?

@paulrichards8473 Год назад

Hey Mark, great video. I have a lot of algae (some BBA) in my tank and I'll be using this method today. One important point of note for your US viewers; The overlay showing the dosage on screen is incorrect. One US gallon is 3.875 litres and not 4.5 litres as quoted. The UK Gallon is 4.54 Litres.

Hi guys. I tried this yesterday in my 10 litre tank ( I dosed 2 ml of 3% h2o2) and I woke up this morning and it had completely removed the green hair algea. I'm absolutely amazed about this. Thank you so much, I can't tell you how disheartening it is to have a tank slowly taken over by green hair algae, especially when you're doing everything to prevent it in the first place. Again thank you Mark for sharing this, very grateful.

@3DThingg 5 лет назад

Then do your dosing accordingly! It would be 1.261ml to 1 US gallon. He is rounding it off for ease of measurement. Your measurement of how much water is in your tank minus substrate and rocks and roots and other things in your aquarium is not going to be precise to the 1/1000 of your US gallon measurement anyway .... It is a safe reference point only. Take the important information and judge yourself on how you want to do it. Good luck.

@SoulJah1337 5 лет назад

Just switch to the metric system already xD

@emilylowe3443 5 лет назад

We should call him out on that mistake. 4.5 liters is an Imperial gallon. 3.8 liters is a US gallon. So for a US 10 gallon tank, do around 11.5ml (this doses for 9.1 actual US gallons after you account for gravel/decorations. And yes, we should switch to the metric system...

@_tanitani_ 4 года назад

@@SoulJah1337 The interesting thing is that the preferred system adopted by congress in 1988 is the metric one, but the US has been using the metric system since the early 1800s. From "THE UNITED STATES AND THE METRIC SYSTEM A Capsule History" by NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (part of the Department of Commerce) "Federal agencies were required by this legislation, with certain exceptions, to use the metric system in their procurement, grants and other business-related activities by the end of 1992.

This video is awesome Mark! Hope all is well. I did a little research on Hydrogen peroxide and found out that it is light sensitive and will break down more quickly when the light are on. I recommend shutting the tank lights off as well during the hour of treatment, not sure if it makes a difference but if the theory is correct its worth a try, plus it may save you from having to do multiple treatments to get the desired effect.

Hi Mark. Great video, thanks for sharing. Couple of questions if I may please: - Why shut off the filter and why for 1 hour? Does the H2O2 harm the bio-filter and is it then gone from the water / safe after 1 hour? - Have you any experience with higher doses and what a safe maximum limit (for neo's) might be? - How often do you treat your tanks with H2O2? Many thanks, James :)

I would need a cup of it for my big (240 USA gallons) tank. Risky! Mark,would much lower doses work slower and well? I just dipped handfulls of infested Java moss i just trimmed and put in a small jelly jar with heavy dose of Peroxide. I waited until the sides of the glass bubbled...then in about 15 minutes took the moss out and put back in the tank in slightly less light. We will see. I then poured the bottle in the tank.

@MarksShrimpTanks 6 лет назад

I do it every now and again in every tank and I see a massive difference in the shrimp, you think to yourself yes they are healthy then try this treatment and see the difference. I think whats happening is it reduces the bad bacteria bioload and increases oxygen.

@Shaden0040 6 лет назад

H2O2 is fairly good at removing cyanobacteria as well. A photosynthesizing bacteria that can be toxic over time if your fish and shrimps eat it. They usually won't on purpose, but it does mix in with other types of algae and gets eaten by mistake.

@stevenquigley9139 5 лет назад

I’ve been using h2o2 for a while now and I can also say I see the jump in shrimp activity but I’ve also noticed it’s more like a temporary boost. I recently lost all of my shrimp in my tank due to what I believe is a fungus that is also effecting my ferns and devastated my S.Repens. I’m actually pretty sure it might have helped the shrimp survive longer and gave me enough time to fight off the fungus by manually removing it daily. It’s been nearly a 2 month long battle that is I hope finally commin to an end. Spot treatment with everything basically did nothing to what ever this was/is and I’ve found little info that related to my specific situation. But back to the topic at hand so far I’ve only seen good things from fairly regular use and I’m pretty sure like I said it was the only thing that some what held things off until I cld basically save my plants at least. I’m ordering my nxt batch of shrimp this weekend. Fingers crossed all is well now. Nano fish seem happier then ever and plants are looking good and ferns and s repens are bouncing back. Prolly just see if I can get some neos to breed and I’ll be thrilled after that battle.

@Shaden0040 5 лет назад

@@stevenquigley9139 Was this fungus a whispy white gunk? If so it is a fungus but it is called white water mold, and it feeds off PVC and other plastics.

Hey Mark. Great video as always. I used to use h2o2 in my fish tanks for years when treating algae or even bacterial infections. (In larger quantities than you use for shrimp so I assume shrimp are more sensitive to it than fish as my fish never were bothered by it) I now use in all my shrimp tanks once you confirmed safe dosage for shrimp safety. Thanks a lot for your videos. Also I believe it kills a large percentage of micro fauna (limpets, copepods, midge fly larvae) I had midge fly larvae in one tank and while not harmful it is very annoying. Small worm like lines stuck to glass and filter and small flys at the surface sometimes. It killed the midge fly completely.

I learned about this as a side effect after "fogging" some black beard algae plaguing my Taiwan moss using 10% H202 solution. Shrimps started to act far more active and started truly recuperating after a bacterial infection boom.

What do you mean "fogging". I have horrible BBA in my tank, i cant seem to get rid of it.

@thedarkabyss100 6 лет назад

@@msack6904 Fogging is the act of targeting a specific place with chemicals, in this case H202. I used a medical syringe to do it with the filter off, then used the needle for deeper spots. EDIT: Also another side effect of burning dead and/or dying leaves, making the moss or plant look more vibrant and healthy

Hello from the future. I know this is an old video, but! I have a question, and any help is greatly appreciated!! I can't find specific info on quarantining the colony that had one infected shrimp. It's pulled, but I'm wondering, and worried about the rest of the colony. So far no one (20-30 asst neo's w babies and 2 Bamboo/ Wood shrimp) is showing any signs. But how long do I need to quarantine this tank? Can I ever add new shrimp safely? Or remove to trade/ sell any shrimp in the future at all? I've read very mixed things as well about substrate. I immediately pulled my one infected Sunkist Neo and was so panicked I put him in a 6g cube I am cycling for a new shrimp colony😱. Will I need to completely dismantle and trash the substrate and plants?!? Or can I just wait a couple months for any possible spores to die? Do the spores die if they don't find a host? Any help is greatly appreciated! I see there's not much more info on this horrible infection in the past few yrs since this video was made😢.

Hi Mark, you say that you have used H2O2 to treat green fungus (ellobiopsidae) in Neo's. Was it still 3% H202 at 1.5ml per 4.5L? If so, did you have to repeat treatment and if so how often?

Hello David, I personally have never used it to treat ellobiopsidae but people have told me they have on at least 6 occasions now, they all used 3% I personally have used it 3 times in a row to remove persistent algae.

@StanTheObserver-lo8rx 6 лет назад

Ok, after that success? I went for more. What I did: I turned off all power, drained down my big tank like I would for a big water change. I then poured peroxide with the bottles pin hole doser over the worst affected plants since not all are. Same for driftwood and rocks,the Pleco keeps them clean. I dosed the Java moss,the Aquatic ferns sp.,the Bacopa,Rotala rotundifolia. Refilled the tank and put on power. That was Sunday. Today,Monday,I see the algae has turned slightly blanched. Fish are eating that now that it's broken down. I also think the water looks..purer. I THINK the Peroxide kills much of the bacteria that slightly cloudys the water..just a little extra clearer after the normal non dosed water change. I think this stuff for $2 in a big bottle is a near miracle cure. A great prophylactic to boot!

Hi Mark very informative video I use it myself just wanted to ask you about leaving the lights on while treating the tank. I've seen from other videos that other people turn the lights off as light reacts with the hydrogen peroxide and breaks it down. I have found this to be true as when I treat my tank I leave the light off for half an hour then when I switch the light back on very fine bubbles start forming from all surfaces this shows me that the lights are reacting with the hydrogen peroxide and breaking it down. Have you any comments on this technique? Regards Dave.

@docuk65 5 лет назад

If it helps the calculations if you make your volume calculations in litres, just divide by 3 to get how many millilitres of H2o2 to dose. then no need to worry about gallon conversions in any country. (1 cubic foot = 28 litres, or 1000 cm^3 = 1 litre. ) so my bow front 90cm tank is 150 litres after taking off gravel etc. so = 50ml of H2o2.

possibly but you have to be aware the dose you find to kill hydra might also kill shrimp, I dont think its the dose I show in the video I think its a bit stronger.
