Aquarium Algaecide OK to use in an aero cloner?

I just got this stuff "Algaefix" to use in my new homemade clone machine, I figure a couple of drops aren't going to hurt, right? it says it is "100% safe for aquarium fish and plants". I also have a bottle of regular hydrogen peroxide lying around in case that's better. I'm just going to be using filtered tap water, no nutes

The cloner is using a 700 gph pump, it's a 14 site machine. Using about 15 gallons in a 24 gallon box.

So is the algaecide safe to use without harming the clones?

nobody knows? The active ingredient is

poly[oxyethylene(dimethylimino)ethylene dichloride]

quite a pain to type. Anyway, I've decided to go with h202 and only if I detect any algae will I use this stuff. I was gonna use it as a preventative

What concentration h202 do you guys use?

I use the 29% concentrate from the hydro store and it works very well. It's about $10 for the quart but hey, that's less than ONE damn clone!
