    Default Any similar products to Hydroguard?

    I'm a newbie in DWC and I see that most people recommend Hydroguard from Botanicare. This product is not available in my country. Before ordering it and waiting a decade for it to arrive, are therr any similar products?

    Hydroguard is just food grade H2O2 or hydrogen peroxide, you need to find a strength that's about 30%. Then you can use it at the rate of about two mil per gallon in your res. I just looked and even food grade hydrogen peroxide is expensive as hell these days. As long as you get 30% you're good 35% is okay I wouldn't go lower.

    I stopped using H2O2 in favor of SM90, in my opinion it's far superior and you can use it as a wetting agent and even an insecticide for mild insects like aphids and thrips, but it can be really hard to get in different parts of the world.

    If I'm right you can make your own using rice water .
    I'm sure one of our mods reds had a recipe for this

    Interesting, I was going off information from one of their reps on a different forum. Maybe I'm thinking of something else?

    Yeah I just looked it up and you're correct, I wonder what the hell I was thinking of? I'm going to have to do a little research.

    I could be wrong jingo but I think in the uk it's definitely a bacillus bacteria solution of some type

    I know what I was thinking of, I was thinking of Dutch pro keep it clean that's H2O2. I actually went back and found an old thread of mine where I was telling somebody hydroguard was beneficial. Brain fart
