Best procedure for dipping live rock in peroxide

[sam.veilleux30]

Hi, i've been reading about peroxide dip to take care of algae.
The rock i have does not have any corals on it, how long the dip should be?
Afterward is it safe to put the rock back in the tank? I was thinking of letting it in a brute with heating and circulation for a few days (not the dip in peroxide, more like when curing live rock).
Also what concentration should i aim for?

Thanks!

I squirt straight peroxide directly on the algae, let is sizzle for a bit and then scrub the algae off and do a vigorous shake in saltwater before putting it back in the tank. Note I’m treating small amounts so YMMV if it’s a lot of algae on a big rock.

Thanks for the reply, will try it.

Peroxide dips work much better if allowed to soak full strength for a bit.

I put peroxide in a shot glass and dip the coral
For 2min.

Ok, so i should dip the whole rock in 100% peroxide?
For how long?
Thanks

For sure you are not using 100% Hydrogen peroxide. That material is extremely dangerous.

Hydrogen peroxide is sold at 3% so it’s already diluted.
I only dip coral frags not rocks. I also only dip zoas for 2min
