Hydrogen peroxide Q

Hi, can i get a quick answer on how much hydrogen peroxide to put in my NFT tank as a flush? I can only get medical grade 3% stuff from the pharmacy.

I have just put my first tank of feed in 200 Liters and in 24 hours i have foam & cloudy look to the reservoir... and the ph has gone up from 5.5 to 7.4 in a day.

This isn't my first time doing NFT..
But it my first time using powdered amino acids ( got referred to it..) it's the only thing that is new to me so im hoping this is the cause... but just incase its something else i want to flush it with hydrogen peroxide.

Currently doing a plain water flush as i write this.

My tap water ppm is 26 & ph 6.4

Any recommendations welcome to what may have caused this... there is no light getting into the system at all.

Thanks

Yoz should have 2_3 ppms of it.and use it ever 3 days because it evaporates.


It would be cheaper to buy some poolshock.its dry lasts longer and cheap as fuck

Thanks mate... you mean daily* as a preventative? Or as a fix ?

Thanks!
Good call, that's for a preventative measure.
I'm not sure about the ratios for a fix?

@amneziaHaze Makes a good point, I do keep hydrogen peroxide around mostly for seeds and sterilising coco but its chlorine I use in my nutrient.
