Is Hydrogen peroxide effective against string algae?

[88GT]

My pond is less than a year old, but want a quick remedy for string algae. Thanks

I read online some where that it does work but the effective dosage killed most of the person's stock.

I used it with minimal effects and they all survived. That was about 1 cup per 100 gallons

You can use water softener salt(mortons blue granuals)...keeps string hair algae away.

how will softening the water effect the fish? I have bass and catfish

Thought you were talking koi and golds; i haven't used salt with cats and bass before?.....i would not recomend its use.

Another strategy that comes to mind is a product called "super bugs".

It's a powder that can be added to the pond.

I have goldfish, where can I get this salt and how much to use per gallon? Thanks
