PSA: Do not use hydrogen peroxide to fight algae if you have shrimp

[I never finish anythi]

1ml of 3% per 10 gallons is the dose.
To say don't use it, it kills shrimp is false.

It should read, if you overdose your tank, shrimp will die.
Which is known that overdosing kills live stock.

5ml is a 50 gallon dose.

Well I dosed 1 ml per 10 gallons and my shrimp survived, but the second time I did it the shrimp died . Hydrogen peroxide is harsh on shrimp and pods

Harmless.. I’ve dosed it for years and went against all odds to beat Dino’s like 15 years ago when a scientist buddy told me to use it! I have a thread on here and was prolly the first one to ever use it and everyone said NO! Don’t do it but I had nothing to lose.

I used HP for several weeks on my tank as one of many failed methods to get rid of Dino's. Truth be told, my cleaner shrimp is a jerk that tore up my prized LPS..... I wouldn't have been all that sad to see him go..... But he was just fine.
