Re: And it has been used in aquariums to even (none / 0) (#4)

I found a link to a site that had a similar story. So now I wonder, should I just take the plants out and soak them in hp and then rinse and replace back into the tank? Or is it better and more reliable to just put the hp directly into the tank?
And how aften would I do this? I added 25 drops to my 50g tank today and will see where I'm at in 24 hours. Hopefully the one dose will do it. It has not taken over the whole tank yet, just a few plants. But I don't know how this algae reproduces, so I want to make sure I don't get rid of what I can see just to have the "eggs" or what have you show up a week later.

thanks so much,
cheers!

Just added another 25 drops to make it 1 drop per gallon. Wanted to see how they reacted to the first dose.
