Hydrogen peroxide to combat black beard algae?

I've used hydrogen peroxide to fight off black beard algae in the past. It's been so long now that I don't really remember what the dosages are or anything. I have to work all day today and tomorrow so I was hoping to hear from a collective of fish keepers on this subject. It's starting to cover my crinum and I want to nip it before it gets worse. 

How do you prevent bba in your own tank? What do you do when an outbreak does occur? 

I plan on researching the proper dosing recommendations at some point. But I would love to hear other options and experiences.

Hi, i had battles with BBA in all my tanks with or without CO2, dosage that i tried is 10-15ml per 50L ir 20-30ml per 25gallons. You can dose whole amount i water but turn on stream pump or some kind of pump not filter for 30 minutes. Day before do water change. Other option is to dose directly on bba. Hope this will help. good luck.
