I have a quick question to anyone who knows anything about it.
Hydrogen Peroxide in fish tanks? I work at a petsmart, and in the event of a power outage that lasts awhile, they say to use hydrogen peroxide basically to put oxygen back into the water.
I know, chemically, it is sound. It basically breaks down into h2o and oxygen.
They have done this one a few occasions, and its worked perfectly, no harm done to fish.
However this time I get a call saying they did it and they're losing and lost a bunch of fish - which is really terrible.
Doing some qiuck research, I also see that it reacts with Amonia and creates an excess in Nitrites and Nitrates, also putting too much over oxydizes the fish.
I want to know, does anyone have specific info on this process?
Such as specific measurements of how much can be used safetly?
Or if its basically a bad idea all together?
I want to compile the info and send it to corporate basically as a guide on the misuse and correct use of hydrogen peroxide in fish tanks during an outage or power failiure emmergency.
Thank you guys
