Hi all, I have got a seriously bad case of BBA in my 120ltr tank. Tried using Apple Snails & Sucking Loaches (Chinese algae eaters) with no success.
So Im going to have a go at using H2O2.
Does anyone know how best to apply this to the tank?
 
...h2o2 is what they use in hair dye to remove the colour?... i wouldn't put it in my tank but i dont know what effect it will have in water. (sorry i dont know how to apply it)
 
Yep, an oxidizing agent, okay in small quantities but I'd rather kill the root cause, not just fight it long-term with chemicals.
 
There are also reports of it killing other bacterias as well ie the good ones. It would be safer to dose some Flourish Excel, it would be a little more expensive, but worth it IMO.
