Hydrogen Peroxide Dosage for Fish Tank

On the amount of hydrogen peroxide in the fish tank
The water for fish farming is related to the life and death of the fish. In order to keep the water clear and the health of the fish, the use of hydrogen peroxide is mentioned from time to time. However, the amount should not be careless.

Where the product is used in the fish tank, it must first understand its properties. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. It can decompose and release oxygen in water, increase the dissolved oxygen in the water, and can disinfect and sterilize bacteria in the water. It has the effect of protecting the fish from disease. However, its strong nature, if the amount is not appropriate, it will harm the fish's life.

As for the amount of hydrogen peroxide in the fish tank, it depends on many situations. First, look at the size of the fish tank. If the tank is large, there will be more water, and the dosage should be slightly increased; if the tank is small, the dosage should be reduced. Second, check the type and quantity of fish. Different fish species have different tolerance to hydrogen peroxide. And the oxygen demand of the fish will increase, and the dosage may be added as appropriate. Third, depending on the water quality. If the water quality is turbid and bacteria breed, or the dosage can be slightly increased to disinfect and sterilize; if the water quality is still clear, the dosage should be small.

Generally speaking, the dosage of hydrogen peroxide per liter of water should be a few drops. Specifically, in general small fish tanks with a capacity of tens of liters of water, add a few milliliters each time, and need to be diluted first and slowly injected into the tank. Don't be too hasty. Medium-sized fish tank, with a capacity of hundreds of liters of water, the dosage can be increased to more than ten milliliters as appropriate, and it needs to be fully diluted and evenly distributed. Large fish tank, with a capacity of thousands of liters of water, the dosage may reach tens of milliliters, but it should also be done with caution to ensure uniform dilution to prevent local concentration from being too high and harming the fish.

Use hydrogen peroxide, and pay attention to the state of the fish. If the fish is uneasy, has abnormal swimming posture, or has a floating head, body surface discoloration, etc., it may be that the dosage is improper, and new water needs to be added quickly to reduce its concentration and ensure the safety of the fish.

In short, when used in a fish tank, the amount of hydrogen peroxide should be controlled, just like holding a scale, and Examine the situation carefully and be cautious in order to maintain the ecological balance of the fish tank, and the fish are full of vitality in the water.
