Questions on Hydrogen Peroxide & Dosage

[markstr]

I've heard on this and am using this now on a few Discus of mine @
2 mls. per gallon. Along with "Amquel Plus" since I have been getting small Ammonia Spikes .25-30 ....
My Questions here:
From what I have been hearing, using both at the same time basically
Cancels out the Hydrogen Peroxide.. Is that the case??
I do WCs 2 x per day @ 50% and each time I am adding both....
Been doing this for 3 days now since I have some external parisites going on
Flashing, Gills a little flaired, Darkness of fish, Slightly Tilted,
not eating too well.. Once I applied this I did see the fish start to perk up
and respond a bit better, more movement , not as listless and hanging out towards the back of the tank and trying to eat a bit more as well..
I feel I'm not benifiting here though if this is the case using both at the same time, also, maybe I shouldn't be using the Hydrogen Peroxide on Back to Back WCs .. Suggestions ?????

What strength of H2O2 are you using?

I don't know if the amquel plus will use up the H2O2, but I wouldn't use it if possible and just relay on water changes. H2O2 will nuke bio filter.

Would Flubendazole would be a better choice in this matter ??
Also,
The Hydrogen Peroxide, @ 2 mls per gallon I have been using @ 12 hr intervals with a 50% WC in Between...
SO, just bag the Amquel and rely on the WC's to keep Ammonia at a min. ??
BB Breeder Tank here...
Is it Wize to do back to back treatments here along with the WC's and if so,
geez, how long should I go with this ? I feel I have just been defeating the purpose here with this Combo for the last couple of days even though I have seen some improvement..

I don't know if the flubendazole will be better, it will be safer for sure - H2O2 if overdosed (and it's easy to do) takes no prisoners, it makes PP look like a wimp.

On the bottle of H2O2 there will be a percentage strength, 2mil a gallon at 3% will be ok, 2mil at 35% will be lethal..... without knowing the % strength of H2O2 I can't work out if the does is a good one or not.

And yes I would just rely on w/c's, breeder tanks tend to be smallish so twice a day should be doable.

Sorry Paul,
Yes 3% on this... I'm just wondering if I should stick to my treatment schedule on this but for how long ??
Thanks for your Input on this Btw..............

Forgot to mention here, I am also doing this routine on my 50 gal with 7 of these guys in it as well...

[pcsb23]

Take great care using it, H2O2 takes no prisoners if you get it wrong. That dose @ 3% should be fine.

It is an excellent oxidiser, so if the problem is external then it will deal with it. Another benefit is that it will raise the redox of the water which is also good. Whilst I would rarely if ever recomend using it, now you are give it a few days, any adverse reaction at all do a large w/c and post up.

I guess that was a long way of saying Yes keep using it

Would it be benificial to apply it after every WC (50% 2x per day) ??
Or say do a WC ( in my case mornings/ Evenings ) just one time per day ??

[pcsb23]

I would only use it once per day.

Thanks for the heads up Paul. I was thinking along the same lines ..
