Thanks brotha! Can I also remove my inhabitants for a few hours while I run the treatment?Wraithen said:Yes. Get a syringe. You can pump hydrogen peroxide on it. It wI kill it. The hydrogen peroxide is very unstable and will break down to harmless byproducts in seconds. If it's a large area I would put hydrogen peroxide around the border and do it daily. Just make sure there isn't any stock nearby when you do it. As long as you don't directly squirt a fish or snail, and there isn't anything directly above the spray, nothing will be harmed in the least. It seems a lot scarier than it is.
You can watch it work. It will bubble on contact with any algae or cyanobacteria it touches. Upside is, lots of things will eat the dead algae, and the cyano seems to slowly just disappear.
Ok I’ll try it tomorrow morning and let yuh know how it goes. Thanks again.Wraithen said:You could if it isn't difficult. Then you could use a spray bottle and take it all out at once!
I didnt think of the spray bottle working under water until I watched a youtuber do it. One of those "why didnt I think of that?!"
The middle picture was taken seconds after starting the peroxide , and the other two hours after. I also observed it bonding with itself under my microscope . Instant example , if you were to cut the sample in half and leave it close enough together the Cyano will Reattach itself to form a complete piece , only under photosynthesis of the microscope light did it bond however.Wraithen said:That doesn't look like any cyano I've ever seen! Never seen it soo... cyan!
