It seems, from all the research I can find, as though anything below 
10ppm is safe for bacteria and fish. Invertebrates might be more 
sensitive, but I've repeatedly dosed up to 15 ppm with no visible 
ill-effects on fish or snails. With 3% peroxide, adding 1 tablespoon per 
8 gallons will yield very close to 15 ppm.
