Algae treatment

Hi everyone,

I am about to start the take down of my aquascape before I do a new scape and I need to treat the algae that built up on some of the plant I plan to reuse. I was wondering what is everyone's preference or found to work the best for treatment liquid carbon or hydrogen peroxide? 

Thanks,

Brian

I don't think there are really any treatments for algae in general. If you have some BBA manual removal and spot treatment with hydrogen peroxide will work. On broad leaf plants I'd remove it manually as best as you can.

What I was thinking about was spot treating all plants with BBA or spot algae by spraying with hydrogen peroxide to kill it before rinsing and placing in holding tank till rescape. Just didn't know which was better/more effective liquid carbon or hydrogen peroxide (aware of the hazards and risks with liquid carbon).
