5:00 if you wanna know how much to use in a tank
Look on hydrogen peroxide dips on corals to remove algae.
Perfect! Thanks
I spray proxcide on my plants before I put them in my tank. Then I rinse them off. Very good info. Thanks.
Gina Rodriguez have you used it in moss also?
Sir Fa on another Video, It Said it WOULD Kill your Marino moss balls
Thanks for making this! I’m starting to use peroxide for more things and it’s definitely a “slept on” method!!
Nice informative video. I've never used hydrogen peroxide before.
I put it in one of those all angle spray bottles and use it to spray the algae on my glass lids to clean it off. Also when doing water changes I spray to spot treat nuisance algae on glass, wood and rocks.
for sure. Sounds good. I love H2O2
It would be helpful to know more about using it for fish bacterial infections along with other meds. Maybe a special video?
I will think about it. But honestly, I Use marine salt and H2O2 as my first resort.... Then I go on to other meds. I think the Oxidizing effects of H2O2 might break down the active ingredients of Medications.
We used to use regular isopropyl alcohol for sanitizing our nets when I worked at a tropical fish hatchery . After soaking them we would then give them a decent water rinse and then set them out to dry overnight . You can also use kosher salt soak to treat nets and plants but with freshwater plants no longer than 2 minutes max and then a freshwater rinse but I wouldn't use it for mosses at all .
When using hydrogen peroxide in the tank, i make sure i turn the filter off so it doesnt kill the bacteria in there. I let it act for a few hours then do a water change before turning it on again
Bright idea
at what dosage how much tia
Really helpful, thanks for all the tips!
Thnak you!!
I have been spot treating my 15l tank w 3ml undiluted h2h0 every night for abt 10 days straight to kill off BBA. . Shirmps will go to the area that I spotted the h202. They get active and seems to like it.
Now I don't know a first thing about H2O2 and I am not grading you on the substance but Sir MANY, MANY, MANY channels on YTB (esp about aquaristic) can LEARN a lot FROM YOU. How to talk clearly, enunciate words , how to keep video interesting and dynamic even when the topic is Hydrogen "whatever". You hooked me, made me a subscriber and I liked your video all on this one single chemical tip. Kudos!
beri vancouver Thank you so much. I really thank for the comment. It means so much to me.
Hydrogen peroxide is great for sterilizing. Saw you on JW live stream. Subbed. Just an FYI it can be both an oxidizer or a reducer depending on conditions
Water change, water change, water change. You could kill them or give then fill burn and they will die slowly.
Nice Video..How much dosing of Hydrogen peroxide for tank per gallons ??
Number Seven: Treating a snail infestation.
Added to the water column, it can kill snails at levels that are safe for fish and plants.
The first time I used it to treat algae, the recommendation I'd read was 3mL per gallon. I followed that recommendation and my fish and plants showed no signs of stress but it killed way over half of my Malaysian Trumpet Snails (I imagined the survivors were buried deepest in the sand substrate).
Yeah snails can't take heavy doses of H2O2
JH Aquatics nope. But believe me when I say leech eggs can. Lol
lol
So I used hydrogen peroxide to help kill this weird mouth fungus. And it worked quiet well, 10 gal tank add about 1/2 teaspoon to kill off the fungus or ick. Dose daily for about 3 days and wait. If sickness persistence then upgrade to something else.
Do u change water daily after adding??
Great information. Thanks for sharing. I've always been scared to use hydrogen peroxide but now I feel comfortable using it. Thanks again and looking forward to your next video.
I use it against hair algae. Works great!
You made the news today #fishfamnews
JH Aquatics Thanks a lot! Very nice of you. 😊👊
Zacks Tanks Crazy Aquarium Guy Did you dose 1ml per Gal or per 10 gal? Did you use 3% Peroxide?
I have a new 10 gal tank that I cycled...added a snail and one Betta....2 weeks later water tests are perfect but I have white micromini worms. Someone said hydrogen peroxide would kill them. Is this true?
How much do I put in my 20 gallon fishtank
Great vid on the subject. I always used it to clean my tanks when I first got them or redo them.
Thank you So much. But that is a horrible video. I need to remake it. hard for me to watch my older videos
It imparted useful information and was actually enjoyable to watch because it wasn't straight on educational style or wacky stylings most do. It was natural and refreshing.
Very helpful content! Especially for use on algae!
I went away for a week and when I came home the water level was below the filter so in return my tank was not being filtered. I don’t know how long but my tank is now green. I bought some jungle pond algae relief but I am afraid to use it. I came across your video and I feel more comfortable using hydrogen peroxide than the other. I have a 25 gallon tank. How much would you recommend using and would I let it sit with the filter not running and the air off for fifteen minutes then turn everything back on and do a 50% water change? That’s what I am getting from the information here on CZcams. Is that what I should do? I really hate adding chemicals to my tank but something needs to be done. Thank you for your time and help. Rhonda
You deserve more subs. Hope everyone is safe
Very informative! That you so much!
Thank you!
Thanks for the great content this was very helpful for a issue I have going on right now with my big redtail and oscar already lost a few Oscar's
some very interesting ideas there ill be taking on thanks for sharing
I appreciate it!
Very good video. I have used it too. It works well.
thanks for the info, I will try this on my blackbeard algae. I'm worried it will choke out my plants.
You can cut to 2min20 if you want to hear the 6 tips - he takes a while to get to the point. Cleaning tubing comes at 4min10. Otherwise good info, thanks.
Thank you!
I never heard of putting peroxide in my fish tank. I have issues with algae on my rocks and decorations. They are too big to take out of my 110 gallon tank. To soak them in bleach. So if I use 10ml of peroxide, will kill the algae. I bought some snails and needle nose pleco. I thought this would help. I know when I turn the rocks over the algae dies.?
Hey, Joseph, what about new plants, before introducing them into your tank. Can they be soaked briefly in H2O2 to kill any hitchhikers? If so, how long?
Mario Alves Jr did he answer you?
I knows couple of companies make plant dip similar to coral dip, the solution is mainly iodine. I would not use hydrogen peroxide because it is extremely potent at killing algae and plant life, I use hydrogen peroxide baths to remove algae from my corals or on rocks infested with algae.
Thanks, I didn't know about the cleaning. I've always used bleach but that's so harsh. I'll be using h2o2 from now on. Great video..💚🐠💚
Me too
Great tips Joseph . You mention H2O2 having a shelf life of about a year. Is that after the bottle has been opened? If not how long do you think it lasts after it has been opened?
3% ? I don't know but H2O2 is so cheap I would just buy new.
I keep bait in a 275 gallon tote I use a bio filter (plastic drum) also i have a pond pump moving the water inside the tote. Water turned green on me quickly. Fish (blue gills) are all still alive. How much peroxide should I use?? Its pea soup algae.
Thank you for putting all these uses in one video! Hmmmmm a channel all about hydrogen peroxide, interesting, or is that just me? :)
:) right. I dont have that much passion for H2O2. But I am sure someone has already done it.
Informative thank you
Great video. I am currently dealing with a chronic columnaris infection and have been scouring the internet for information. This was great, especially cleaning the hose and dosing the tank. I am hesitant to put it directly in the tank. Along with meds, i have been doing methylene blue baths. New subscriber 👍
I am creating a Medication series right now. The first part is today at 11am. It is on Salt. The next one will be on General Cure by API. I think General Cure and EM Erythromycin could help you as well as Levamisole. but not all at the same time.
Good series of videos to do...from my research I have found that furan 2 along with kanaplex has worked for others, that's what i started with along with the methylene blue & salt baths. It seems to be working so far, next step I plan on doing is removing all the decor and sterilizing it.
Columnaris is a gram-negative Bacteria. I would treat it with E.M. Erythromycin, and salt. A daily salt bath of 5-10 mins and then returned to a medicated tank with E.M. Erythromycin. Please don't forget water changes and redosing every 4-5 days. That is just what I would do, but I'm not a veterinarian or doctor.
JH Aquatics, now you lost my confidence in you. Columnaris Is gram positive bacteria by most accounts and E. M. Erythromycin is useless to treat it .. Kanamycin, Neomycin are better treatments since they treat gram positive more effectively. I suggest you give your information a "once over" before you share it.
When asked seachem staff about disinfecting net and hose etc, he said to use 3% hydrogen peroxide but he uses it without adding water but you are adding water to the hydrogen peroxide to soak nets etc in it and longer than he said;he said to soak in hydrogen peroxide 30 min... So, now I am bit confused.I like to ask the seachem staff again. How much water to how much hydrogen peroxide do you use for each? Also, solution you used to disinfect utensils,you can use it over and over again? Thank you.
How does that 1 ml per gallon affect your good bacteria? Are you reseeding afterward? For cleaning and soaking, what dose per gallon; is it the same or more?
Can you please explain what Vol % is safe for cleaning tank stuff regardless of the mixing ration ??
Thank You!!! :-)
Good video 👍🏻
Old video
Great vid i just decided to throw some in my 55 gallon 👌🏾 i'd make a video about it if anyone was interested lol
Hello how do you use it for fin rot or skin issues in the tank
Got to love H2O2! They make food grade H2O2 that doesnt have the stablilizers in it. I have gone as far as 10 ml per gallon and was fine but not that I would recommend it. 2 ml is good.
I prefer 35% food grade, but it can be dangerous so I kept it to 3% in the video for safety reasons.
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics I agree but outside the States everything is so much more expensive. It's like $200 ($150 USD) for a small bottle of food grade h2O2
I did and still they were acting up but when i put them on a plastic bag and gave a little shake to shake off the chemical then put them back, they turn out fine but i had 5 casualties out of 20-30
Yes, you gave them gill burns. Sometimes it takes a while to suffocate from gill burn... you might have more casualties.
Yeah all of the fingerlings plus 3 adult full size females
Will it kill Detritus worms
How can I safely use hydrogen peroxide in an outdoor bath?
How long should I wait between spot treatments of hydrogen peroxide? I did a 5ml spot treatment in my 100L tank. It worked great and now I want to spot treat other parts of the tank. How long should I wait?
Loved your vid but no details on amount x the tank dosing. I soaked a few plants y'day in 100% h2o2 for about 15 min. then rinsed thoroughly before putting back in tank (not roots or rhizomes). Today, all leaves that had algae have red tipped algae. Assuming the red is dead algae. Correct? Quantity or approx. of h2o2 for each of your treatment suggestions would be appreciated.
Sorry I was younger on CZcams then..I need to re make that video. I personally dony treat a tank with more than 1ml for every 10 gals. You can melt plants with too much H2O2 and you can also burn the gills of fish.
Did you have moss there too?
He did at 5:25...1ml per gallon.
straight ? dosage?
But how much do you use in each instance?
Is it less harmful than bleach and winger? And is it more powerful than does two?
Good ideas👌
To get rid of Algae you say to use 1 ML. of Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon. All other recomendations is 1 ML. per 10 gal. which is correct? ( SaltWater Tank)
Can I use it to try to get algae out from under the silicone up the side of the tanks seems??
My take is making this white cloudy looking algae, will peroxide help kill it?
It might help. Sounds like a bacteria bloom. UV light and daily 20% water changes. That should help. Im dealing with the same thing now. Not that easy, need to give it time.
Ok thank you. And good luck.
A word of caution, Even in very low dosages it will kill mollusks!!! That can be a good thing to some people, But in my case it's a very bad thing, I only use 3% food or dental grade with no added stabilizers, Or I will just make my own h2o2 most of the time, But, I use it constantly for almost everything, A whole channel about h2o2 would be really awesome, Not sure people like chemistry as much as I do. lol
Cap'n Spicy true I do not use H2O2 in tanks with shell fish or snails I like.
Cap'n Spicy can the food&dental grade also sterilise aquarium equipment?
It is also useful for removing pest algae from a rock with coral, algae can kill zoanthid when it grows taller and blocks light.
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Markus Cason instablaster :)
@Daniel Julius i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Daniel Julius it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Markus Cason Happy to help :D
How much did you smoke before posting this😂😂😂
I have heard that it is 1 ML per 10 gallons of water from multiple sources. I am curious as to if you just misspoke by saying 1 ML a gallon?
I think 1ML per 10 gallons is for a stronger concentration than 3% 35% food grade is also a popular concentration to use and that one may be 1ML per 10 gallons, which is kind of scary because it gives you way less room for error.
@@matth600 I just got done ridding my tank of GHA by super dosing different types of bacteria. Within my process I also dosed Vodka to feed the bacteria Glucose so they would multiply. I then dosed hydrogen peroxide in the latter stages of my plan. I just use the regular stuff. And in that plan I start dosing Peroxide on day 4 at 0.5 ml per 10 gallons. On the 5th day it goes up to 2 ML, 6th day 1 ML, 7th day 0.5 ML. I got rid of all of my GHA with my plan in 7 days. I don't dose Vodka or Hydrogen Peroxide unless I need to and the Hydrogen Peroxide is only dosed through the skimmer air intake.
I just found this After I used it in one of my tanks. Video coming
Can you put it in your tank while fish are in it
Is 12% clear volume hydrogen peroxide safe to use to kill algae in my tank w fish in it? And for the algae build up ?
No use only 3%
After the video I don't know the amount of using it. And I don't know what is the use beside disinfect your tool
What sort of ratio would be good to clean tanks? Can it be done with just a spray bottle and a magic eraser or best to fill it with water first? Thank you :)
Cleaning an empty tank or cycled tank which fish in it?
Thanks for replying, empty just to get rid of any stuff that may come or after bacterial infection on shrimp tanks.
But empty of course :)
Cheers!
blah did he answer you?
Good to know Tom Hardy.
:-)
I couldn't find 3%, can I use 6% by doubling the water ratio?
6% is not much stronger.
Can this product work for algae problems in saltwater aquariums? What should be the dose?? Thank you
I only ever spot treat with H2O2. It is not the answer just a temporary fix.
Absolutely
Look up Reefmoonshiners group on FB. Look for photo of a teal birdsnest.
What amout do you use for treating fish?
I have a small tank with just a betta and a nerite. But I have a nasty case of green slime (cyanobacteria??) Can I use peroxide to wipe the green slime off walls of tank before refilling tank with new water and putting my fish back in?
The snails will not be able to handle the H2O2
@@JHAquatics I had drained the tank. Wiped down the walls with the peroxide. Then dried off the walls with a dry towel. And refilled the tank. So far the Betta & Nerite seem OK. I cannot let that green slime come back! It makes me gag.
@@Joy21090 you can run a UV sterilizer a couple of times a week, and cut back on your lights a little, and it will keep cyano from coming back.
@@RCsalty Thanks. Can I get one at any big-box pet store? Do I have to do anything special with the fish & snail?
@@Joy21090 I have 2 of them, got them off of Ebay but most LFS will have them. No, nothing special to prepare your tank, just drop it in and plug it in. It's especially effective after you scrub your tank, because you'll have some free floating algae and spores. The sterilizer will clean them up no problem.
Lol if 3% hydrogen peroxide burns your skin, you might be an alien
Will peroxide kill my fire shrimp or hermit crabs in saltwater? Im battling a really big red turf algae problem! :(
With algae, H2O2 can help but it is not the end all answer... there is some other imbalance in your Nitrogen cycle that needs to be set back in balance. if H2O2 is lite it will not harm invertebrates.
@@JHAquatics Yes it can and it will if overdosed! I can send you picture of my mishap. :(
Will it harm my two clowns in a 20 gallon long along with my snails and hermits?
It would kill your Snails.. And ANY Crustaceans 🦞
Can peroxide hurt my turtle? It’s in a 10 gallon tank with just enough water to swim and it has rocks and all in there. I’m asking bc it’s my son’s turtle and he is not home for a couple days and the filter went out. I’m ashamed to say but my son let the thing get too dirty and last night I cleaned it out and boiled water to put in it ( yes I let the water cool off before I put the turtle in it).... but my reasoning is bc I can’t get to the store right now and I just couldn’t stand the turtle being in there in that nasty ass water. Anyways, it’s in the clean tank now. There just isn’t a filter in there and I’m afraid it’ll kill the turtle without one. Please help??? ASAP!!!!!
Im not sure but I dont think I would use alot of Peroxide with a turtle.
How do you use it on your fish due to turn fin...want to try it on my betta...
Lflower1 Stars Trying to understand your question. Are you referring to fin rot?
JH Aquatics
Yes fin rot...thanks
Yeah i would use it for fin rot but, But good water changes and API general cure would be a good choice too.
Do you take the fish out n put the peroxide directly on the fins for fin rot?..thanks for sharing
you add it to the water.
@@JHAquatics their in a 55 glass tank with neons n orange eyes tetras coricats n live plants..how much do I use will it kill other things? I stripped the tank down n coconut coir dirt? Then pea gravel n white sand on top..the nitrates were super high before I tire it down
How much peroxide for a 30 gal tank.. Directly put in it for brown algae
many people might dose 1ml per gallon. I believe that will harm fish or kill fish. I always spot treat with a syringe and i have never treated my 29 gal with more than 10 ml with out a water change.
what's the amount you use to treat fish??
No more than treating plants. You do have to be careful you can burn their gills and kill them.
Can I treat the whole tank with this I have fin rot on my guppies it's a 90L tank
I would try salt first
Do I use salt every day or just once
Salt can be used but with monitoring the parameters of the water and doing water changes as well. you should be using Aquarium Salt or marine salt as well. You should check out a video I have on salt. in my series on medications.
3% is used on human skin to clean wounds. But identifying the percentage is vital.
Rucky bobby what do i do with my hands ..bahhahaha stop please
Hydrogen peroxide is actually very beneficial to earthbound and aquatic plants. It oxygenates the roots, kills bad bacteria that grows as a film on their leaves and it also promotes new route growth. I highly recommend keeping new plants or plants you’re going to transfer to another tank into a hydrogen peroxide and water mixture. 20% hydrogen peroxide, 80% distilled water to rinse let it sit in there for a minute, pull it out and rinse it off with some pure distilled water, and then place it into its new tank.I highly recommend dipping new plants or plants you’re going to transfer to another tank into a hydrogen peroxide and water mixture. 20% hydrogen peroxide, 80% distilled water to rinse let it sit in there for a minute, pull it out and rinse it off with some pure distilled water, and then place it into its new tank. do use of hydrogen peroxide in earthbound plants should only be used as a last resort as it kills all beneficial bacteria and nutrients in the soil.
What about soil in the water?
Missed two big ones. Use it for fish eggs or spray it on plants to remove algae.
I wouldn’t spray it on eggs. May affect the cell membranes
@@donteven5712 been using it for years along with many other people for keeping fungus off eggs
@@leam89 that's what I came here for my angel fry but obviously he didn't cover that.....
3% 20vol won't burn you lol. 18% 60vol will turn your finger's white for a while! 😘
guys, go to timer 2:16 to get to the point
It's kelde my aquarium plantes..
Don't use it in high contetis..
High much? 😆🌳🔥
You can use it to kill your pleco like i did
I accidentally poured a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and my guppies started jumping like crazy
Water changes, water changes, water changes. You could kill your fish or give them gill burn and they will just die slowly.
You talk with a LOT of hand gestures
I sure do!! :-)
[Suddenly, @@JHAquatics forcefully gestures at me]
😲
Zom Bee Nature ..I thought he was dancing, I’ve never seen a man move about like that when trying to explain a subject ...But got to say the information he gave us was brilliant so I’ve subscribed and rung the little bell .
Nit: it should be 2 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms not molecules in the video.
in the first 20-30 sec you act like high on h202 😁. ~>just kidding
Full of misinformation. Obviously doesn’t know how peroxide works
...It is dangerous, it can harm your skin...whew, thought you were gonna say inhabitants.
foodgrade h202 only bruh
Are you drunk?
Soon as I herd kills bactearia I switched off
Why? It is proven to kill most kinds of bacteria by oxidizing the cell walls. Some types are immune, but for the most part, it is effective. It also serves to limit the growth of new bacteria.
BTW, as soon as I read your comment, I had to respond. Learn grammar and spelling
Holy crap, another rap wanna be, or you try to fly using your arms? Lmao
