    I think the key here, is to know why you have algae in your tank. While h2o2 works great for dips or spot treatment, if you don't address why the algae is growing, odds are it will be back.
    yeah i read this as like "vinegar dosing" not sure why lol. i know what my issue was for carbon dosing. nitrates. 2 excellent food sources followed with po4. the carbon dosing issue i had was not watching ph. i was removing so much that with the death of the algae came a nice ph flux. thats the only thing i could think of. live and learn... to be more aware.

    errr "peroxide dosing"....
