Guide me clearly through that which I dont understand
Give me strength to find the path
Help me fight any demons as you flow through me wholely
This is my prayer, that you protect me from evil, and bring me closer to peace
And open up my eyes, so i can see things as you do
Amen

i think i read there should be bo standing water because of bateria and such?

when not using h202 would standing water be bad?

i guess about 2 1/2 with no standing water then to be on the safe side right?

Use H202, its not really an option not to use it.

Do you want all of your efforts to go up in green?

USE PEROXIDE!!!

It's cheap and very effective.

I never used it and I never had mold problems. I wouldn't say it's a must, but any extra precautions you take couldn't hurt.

You can get H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) at just about any drug or grocery store. Try to get the bottle with the newest date on it. Peroxide loses it's thunder after a while.

Bleach will kill everything, even your mushies.

If you don't have any standing water you can get away with no peroxide, but why take the risk??

Safety first. In life and in this hobby, you have a lot of time and effort at risk. Do all you can to ensure proper results.

I personally use 3% at about 8oz. per 32oz. water this has worked great for me. 2" perlite is all you need, remember you can also soak and drain your perlite using no standing water in your FC, I personally find the addition of water stabilizes the environment better providing less fluctuation.
