with what im reading its either very good to use on a regular basis or only as a problem solver, the issues seem to be the same but looked at from opposite ends. the peroxide kills all microbes good and bad so although it kills the problem it destroys any beneficial microbes as well, the thing i would question is that as your emptying your reservoir every week the odds of actually breeding and decent microbe culture is doubtful, i kept tropical fish for years and it takes a week at least to build up the microbes

I think it's a (american) hydroponics thing. A good place to ask would be that thread I gave you about the beneficial bacteria and DWC
https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/361430-dwc-root-slime-cure-aka.html
Or ask Heisenberg (thread OP). He's on right now.
Or you could ask in the hydroponics section.
All I know is that it's used to keep a clean res and white roots in DWC and hydro, but how or to what extent I have no idea.

Well from what I know there are two schools of thought in the DWC world concerning the reservoir. Either you keep it sterile or you use beneficial bacteria and I think only the guys that go sterile use hydrogen because like you said it kills the microheard.
Thing is, the one time I ran a DWC to see what the big deal was with it, I never got any kind of algae or slime and I never changed the water in the 4 weeks I had it running.

cheers mate, ive no problems myself so far so i was only wondering if it was a 'must have'. even if i do develop problems theres a chemist shop(drug store) 5 mins away that stocks it. i like to keep stuff around though so that ive got it immediately; dutch master reverse, neem oil , etc. im not one for going the sterile route anyway, the plants exist quite happily in the outside world so i think you can become a bit ocd/anal about shit like that for no real good reason.
