Peroxide on creeping algea's?

MinibowMatt · 03/18/2006, 07:04 PM

I have a couple pieces of LR that have a pervasive creeping red gracelaria type algea. It is taking over some zoo colonies. I was thinking about removing the LR physically removing all the algea I can and then squirting the areas with peroxide? I know it works on FW algeas?
Thanx!

Very interesting idea. I would probably superglue the spot where the algae originates, but cannot refute the peroxide.
