Tank Talk

I'm really hoping for help from forum members here.  I recently started getting brown algae in my aquarium.  It started at the top of my tallest plants (all fake) and then on the tops of other things in my aquarium.  I pulled out each item, scrubbed with a zero chemical scrubber from Petco, then dipped in boiling water for about 30-seconds (same way I sterilize stuff for my infant).  I also did a 25% water change.  I then bout some Tetra-Algae control and added some.  2 days later, the brown algae is back.  Doing some research, I see lighting is to blame a lot.  Currently my lights come on at 1pm and turn off at 8:30pm.  Is that too much lighting? 

My big question comes from a bunch of youtube videos I've seen, where people spray hydrogen peroxide in their tanks right on the affected areas.  This has me very nervous.  Is it bad for my fish?  It took months for my aquarium to get the nitrogen cycle just right, would hydrogen peroxide do harm to my beneficial bacteria?  Again, any help or advice is appreciated in advance! 

I only keep mbuna, but from what I've seen and read Duboisi can hang in there with mbuna. By the way most people on here are using "tank Talk" group on Facebook now

Hey guys. I'm new on here so bare with me. lol. I have a 65g tank with 8 mbunas and just added 2 tropheus duboisi. They are doing well but one of the mbunas sometimes chases but no fin nipping. My main worry is that at feeding time the duboisi won't get enough due to the mbunas appetite. They are all young and I feed twice a day. water perameters are perfect but the dubois are a little more shy but are swimming the tank nicely. Any recommendations would be great. Thank you

Hi Kenneth and welcome to the forums.
As GaryJewett said, there is a facebook group that most have gone to.
However, as Gary is here.. there are others that pop in from time to time so feel free to ask your questions here if you wish.
