Question about Oxydator solution

[Squiggle]

Hey All,

Just a quick question, does anyone know what concentration of H2O2 the Sochting Oxydator solution is & is there a way to make up your own solution? If so, how effective is it compared to the Sochting solution? :encouragement:

The formula/mix on the bossaquaria website and aquotix website....depedns on the H202 concentration i.e. 35% ....

Thanks BB, those are the pages I was looking for :encouragement: What about using the 6% H2O2 you get from the chemist, would that work?

[BlueBolts]

Have not used those, and unsure whether they're food grade. Economically buying a 35% or 50% H202 makes the formula cheap !

[Squiggle]

Hmmmm, you make a good point BB, as always. :encouragement: Now the $64000 question, where's the best place to get it from?

[Ziek]

Jay that website I was talking to you about the other day that Greg showed us has big bottles for sale real cheap and I'll be purchasing stuff for my 4ft divided system soon from them can add it to the list of things I'm getting

[Squiggle]

Thanks Ziek, I should have a look on there :encouragement: but what about getting the 50% solution, where would you get that from?

[Ziek]

Sorry a bit out of it atm with the morphine but what do you need the 50% stuff for?

[Squiggle]

You are off your rocker at the moment aren't you, hahaha :victorious: Sounds like the shoulder surgery went well :encouragement:

In the links that BB posted, it tells you how to make 6% solution from 50%, so a liter would last a long time :congratulatory:

[Ziek]

ahh well that website has the 6% solution in 1000ml for 7.95 eur which is super cheap and I'll be buying a few bottles. Yes I'm definitley off my rocker atm haha, surgery went really smooth had quite a few tears in my shoulder which had to be fixed to the one they thought there was

Squig before you buy let me know .... maybe share freight or get a bigger discount for qty.

Cheers

[Ziek]

Greg let me know when your going to order as I need to get media and other stuff from that site

hi guys, just be sure to only use food grade 35% H2O2!!!!!!!!!!!

the premixed solutions of 6%, 3% etc have binding and stabilization agents in them and are not proven to be safe for your aquarium.

This information is direct from the manufacturer.

[Squiggle]

Sounds like a plan guys, bulk order it is then :victorious:

[Ziek]

Thanks heaps for the heads up Dean wasn't aware of that

[durro68]

Also I use the site linked from Boss Aqua - Barrington River Organics $33 plus postage for 500ml 35% Food Grade.

I thought this might be the case, thanks Dean! :encouragement: I think I will just get a bulk order with the boys & probably get a liter or two of the Sochting stuff :victorious:

Hmmmm, I saw this link, might be worth giving it a go :encouragement:

[durro68]

Squig if you need some urgently I have some of the small bottles (4.9% H2O2 82ml) that come with the mini-oxydators you can have.

I'm all good for the moment, I've got about 3-4weeks worth left but I will have to do something about it soon. I hate leaving it till the last minute, been caught out too many times before :encouragement:

I'd personally rather buy refills from dean than mess with other solutions to save a few bucks.

Why risk the life of a few hundred bucks of shrimps an plants and the health of your tank for a few dollars ?
