I dose my tanks with hydrogen peroxide from time to time when the algae
tries to take over.  It has never harmed a fish.  I have never kept Discus.
If you're worried, you could fill the barrel with water and let it sit for a
couple days.  That should leach any residues out.  Water your lawn or garden
with the water so it doesn't go to waste.

If it's hydrogen peroxide that's been in them, that is a bleaching agent. I
wouldn't worry about it so much. Put a goldfish in there if you are really
concerned.

Either way,
                    your going to want to do a Bleach dip on em'  to be 
safe..
I personally wouldn't use any barrels that had any sort of chemicals in them

for sure.
I've had ones that you can smell the food that was previously in them but I 
always
ask prior to getting them as well..  I am very cautious about these since I 
use them
for Pre-treatment of all my water for my Discus....    FWIW....
