Opinions on Hydrogen Peroxide for cleaning.

[DobbyAlly]

It has been recommended to me by a serious fish hobbyist that a person could use Hydrogen Peroxide as a cleaning product in a fish tank.
I understand there is a very fine line with the chemical composition and how it breaks up in the water.
I plan on giving it a try on one of my tanks which I don't currently have any fish in to see if it work as well as it is said to.

I use it for maintenance several times a year....on plants that grow too much bba, or pumps or other decorations. I treat out of water for about 30 mins. Never had any issues. Works like a charm.

Once it hits water, I believe it just dissolves away.

Note, Hydrogen Peroxide is always slowly decomposing...even in a closed bottle (of course at a much slower rate v open bottle) so make sure , if used, it is still 'good' .

Good to know, I have found a supplied who I can get it in small quantities from.
I look forward to seeing how it works.
