Controlling Algae growth with Hydrogen Peroxide

Has anyone tried Controlling Algae growth with Hydrogen Peroxide in a live fish aquarium?

The web seems to give numerous anecdotal tales with little documentation.

I wouldn't use peroxide, I would use ozone.

A side effect of ozone is that your fish grow big real fast, an important detail if you're considering farming koi ;p

lol, hydrogen peroxide can be bought relatively cheaply, while ozone generates a greater keynesian effect in the economy.

You can buy a ozone producing lamp from aquarium suplyers or you can use a tesla coil.
