SALTY Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 So after killing my tank buy trying to kill the flat worm I am now having a problem with hair algae. I have tested my water and everything is perfect so I don't know where its coming from. I want to start Dosing hydrogen peroxide but don't know the mixture or what type of peroxide to use so could some one please help me out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabeaver Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Well some kind of nutrient is spurring the growth so it's being used by the gha making it appear like phosphates and nitrates are at a good level, So we need to figure out source of excess nutrients. I have never dosed hydrogen peroxide other than spot dosing to kill turf algae. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer503 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I've heard that the algae consumes the phosphates, causing your tests to be inaccurate. I had a green hair algae outbreak and had ideal water parameter tests too. I added some more snails and hermit crabs to the tank and added a bag of Chemipure Elite in my filter sock. That fixed the hair algae issues over a week or two... definitely worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SALTY Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Well the only thing in the tank is few corals and one fish some crabs and snails. I dose two part calc/alk and magnesium. So I really don't know where it's coming from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
