Well 32 ounces is a 1/4 gallon which for 30 gallons means about 1.2%. From what I hear you generally want about 1%. Give the plants some time. My plants wilt every time I change my res whether I put H2O2 in there or not (since they are not sitting in water for 20 minutes).

I personally think that unless you are trying to control/help an algae problem, that 1% H2O2 is to much. I use about 0.5%. When I use 1% I get a lot of bubbling on the roots. I expect this is good for killing algae but I dont like it looks otherwise.

Last, are you sure you have 30 gallons? I know it may sound stupid, but I spaced out the first time I did my res and measured for the total size of 18 gallons, when in reality there are only about 13-14 gallons in there.
