Aquascaping Tips: Algae Treatment with H2O2 (Hydrogen peroxide, 3%) | "The Ikigai" Nano Planted Tank
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2020
- Algae bloom for the new planted tank is quite common. So don't sweat, small stuff. Just keep calm and do some treatment, if needed. :) In this video, I am using Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2, 3% solution) that usually can find easily from any pharmacy stores. It is safe to use H2O2 since its by product is just water and oxygen. Nevertheless, please take note that not only algae, but mosses might be sensitive with this chemical. So use with care. Hope you enjoy the aquascaping journey and pleasee subscribe for more useful information and inspiration about this hobby. Thank you. :)

Thank you so much, Jurijs! It's part of the game ya! 😸💪
The paint brush is a very precise tool. Nice
Ya man, this brush is my favourite tool :P
amazing! your videos deserve way more views!
Thank you, bro! ^_^ I am glad that you like it. Hope it would be useful, too. :)
Great application tip for the algae removal. Thank you!!
I am glad that is useful. I hope you don't even need to use it though. :P
Awesome tank!!
thank youuu 😊👍
The background of your tank is so bright... Can I know how you achieved it.. by the way.. really great work 🤟
Thanks bro. I don't use any background sticker and the wall behind the tank is white colour, so it is quite bright. 😁
@@LitiAquaria oh..okk... Amazing work by the way...keep going 🤟👍
Thanks buddy! 🥰
Regards the algae on moss which is the solution? Thanks
Algae on moss is always the unsightly one. It would be the best to remove it at the earliest stage when you see it by using tooth brush. If that is too much, other than removing manually, you can trim those affected portion and reduce lighting period / intensity. It will help but the effect will be gradually, not immediately. 😊
What if the algae is in plants ? Like anubias or other hard plants
Those algae on plants like Anubias, you might need to remove it manually by a toothbrush first. If the leave is badly infected, it should be removed accordingly.
Hi. H2O2 put on hardscape only right? How about the plants?
Hi buddy. Some plants like moss is quite sensitive with H2O2, so it is not really recommended to treat the algae on moss. I have tried to treat it on some other plants and the results is quite good. If you try on plants, make the H2O2 contact time as short as 15-20 seconds should be good enough.
@@LitiAquaria may I ask, what do you mean by short contact time? After applying, immediately refill with water? Or how.
Sir can we use any brand of hydrogen peroxide ??? Please reply sir 🙏🏻 ????
Hi Daniel. Yes, as long as it is H2O2. 😁💪
Is it harm the fishes?
Hi Sumanta, with the small amount of H2O2, the fish and shrimps are safe. H2O2 byproducts are basically H2O and O2, so it is mostly safe in small amount. We try to minimal the impact to them by withdrawing the water and only apply H2O2 to those location that got affected by algae. :D
