Remember how ya said you don't aerate your res?Discovered something fairly interesting last night.
So I treated my main holding tank with 3ml/g H2O2, something I dont usually do... I usually just treat the water in the res.
When I filled my res from the holding tank I immediately noticed intense frothing in the res. the HT was completely still, but the res was almost boiling it was so fizzy. It honestly kinda freaked me out, I had to think back to try and remember how much peroxide I had added thinking maybe I overdosed it? I had no idea what was going on.
Like I do, I obsessed about what happened last night and took to the internet to find answers. Turns out my UV sterilizer acts as a catalyst for the oxidation reaction of H2O2 and causes it to instantly react to any organic or inorganic compound it contacts. Sterilizing my resivoir much more effectively.
Interestingly the plants were fed this nutrient solution 5 hrs later and they perked up noticeably, I havent seen them look so awake ever. I'm thinking there was a massive shot of dissolved 02 in there and they loved it? Not sure, but this morning they seem just as happy. Like really perky.
Thought it was pretty cool, and man was I relieved to find out I didnt somehow fuck things up lol.

Also something to consider is if the reaction was with bacteria. You can't see it usually unless it's glass but most containers get a clear super thin film of bacteria that are actually beneficial. The only thing is they do also consume o2 just food for thought
Just food for thought. Seen that a lot in aquariums with a water changeLol, I'm not going to aerate my res. It's probably because I've flip flopped between using H2O2 and Voodoo juice a couple times and I've likely got a bacteria bloom is all. And it was more the UV light that caused the reaction then anything in the water. I usually dont get any fizzing when I add H2O2.
Pre-98 is lookin' really classy this go around. But I keep sleeping in too late to catch a snapshot of her sleeping lol.
Overall health and bud development looks to be on track for a nice crop of the bubba. It looks better than it has in quite a few rounds. And the VK looks like a different plant all together lol
