i wanna use hydrogen peroxide in my system how much should i use i have hydrogen peroxide 6%
can someone give me an idea something to start with
and don't tell me about 35% the country i live in don't even sell bread to begin with lmaoo jk jk jk
 
I'm following the same train of thought as 9fingerleafs, what do you hope to achieve by adding it to your res?
 
For real :) I don't even use hydroponics. i know its used for various cleaning and antibacterial purposes. I also know it may sound "logic" to add it to provide "oxigen" but I'm pretty sure you and everybody knows it's not beneficial at all. So I really wonder what are you planing on using it for
 
But the article has a recommended useage amount? And it says not to just use the reg drug store type. Wouldnt cooling the water back down with say an ice bottle a day be easier? And then increase oxygen in a more natrual way?
 
Well yes. As they clearly says "don't use 3% peroxide" that's what we all though you where talking about. It is true some brands sell "special" peroxide but I wouldn't believe their claims. maybe someone has used it and knows more about it but it is not "essential" in my opinion
 
If you use air stones and Hydroguard, you will not need to use hydrogen peroxide. My tank is always in the mid 70s and I have never had any problems with root rot.

yea i will probably use some ice bottles thats a good idea. i have 6% hydrogen peroxide so i was wondering if to use the same amount as what they specified for 35%
 
jam I didn't read the article, but you do know that H2O2 is only viable for around 24 hours, right? If you get a bad case of root rot that is beyond Hydroguard's ability to wipe out, use Grapefruit Seed Extract.

Use hydrogaurd it's way better!!!!! The hydrogen peroixe kills all bacertia and the oxygenation only last 24hours do not use hp and hydrogaurd at the same til u will reek havick on ur roots. The only time to use hp is either mold/mildew on leaves or root rot or for a clone as the oxygen helps them. For a plant that's already growing dnt use hp unless u have the above problems. USE HYDROGAURD for hydro ponics it's what it's made for.
