Did you use a syringe and flow it directly on the algae? Did you turn
off all current producing devices (powerheads, pumps filters etc etc)?
All H2O2 has to do is touch the algae and there should be a reaction
almost imediately, just like when you put it on a cut.it
fizzes.......did you turn off the tanks lights after treating for a
period of time as light renders it useless in short order.
Can't say one way or another with the lemon tetra, but Iknow its a
fact that when fish die with a PP treatment that is done correctly,
odds are that fish was destined to die anyhow and it wa not really a
fault of the PP (considering it was done correctly)...........The by
product given off is certainly not harmfull, as its almost pure wtaer,
much purer than what comes out of most homes faucets, along with
oxygen.
I played aorund with a patch of algae that I normally keep on the
back of my tank for the various algae eaters, and H2O2 started it all
up to fizzing action and it sloughed off the glass within 2 days
time...and all I did was flow out the HP with a syringe. Dunno why it
did not work for you........
