My reef is of a similar size to yours gallonage wise. I have an Oxydator A running with 12% peroxide and 2 catalysts in the return pump section of my sump.
Oxydators are not considered a cure for nuisance algae however, they do help in its eradication and often help tip.the balance against it.Thanks atoll! I'll try increasing the % and see if that helps. To be honest, if film algae on my glass is the only nuisance algae I got, I can live with that!
YVW.
Thanks!
What results are you hoping to see?
Ozone clarity and some waste removal in refugium.
As you know the effects are very similar to ozone. Now, it depends on a number of factors just like ozone. With a hazy water clarity some notice improvements within a few hours other it's a slower process depending on why or what is causing the haziness. You might need to put another catalyst in if you dont notice an improvement in water clarity within 24 hours. Neither ozone or peroxide will remove the likes of detritus but it will help nullify it to some extent by oxidation some of the compounds within.
Result then. Some people think Oxydators are little more than snake oil. I have been telling people about them for around 30 years. Slowly but surely I am beginning to be proved right about the benefits they can bring esp to water quality.
Difficult to.put a time frame on how quickly an Oxydator will work. Some notice an improvement in hours some days. Are you using a skimmer?
Yes, skimmer and 4h UV daily.
