Diluting Hydrogen Peroxide (H202)

How do I dilute 35% Hydrogen to a lower %?

Below are the instructions on how to make your own solution for Söchting Oxydators.

Here are some links Link 1 OR Link 2 to where you can buy the proper "food" grade 35% Hydrogen Peroxide - which you must "dilute" with pure distilled water (or RO Water) to achieve the desired concentration as follow:

1 part 35% Hydrogen Peroxide to 6 parts distilled water yields the recommended 6% solution. 

For example: 60ml of 35% food grade Hydrogen peroxide plus 360ml of distilled water = 420ml of 6% Hydrogen Peroxide.

A 1-to-2 ratio of 35% food grade Hydrogen Peroxide to distilled water would yield a 12% Hydrogen peroxide solution.

A 1-to-3 ratio of 35% food grade Hydrogen Peroxide to distilled water would yield a 9% Hydrogen peroxide solution.

You can adjust the % food grade Hydrogen Peroxide as desired to accommodate the rate at which oxygen is dispensed from the Söchting Oxydator into the aquarium.
