Cloudy tank after H2O2 dose

[Jonathan Troutt]

hey guys so been dosing my tank with peroxide for about a week currently. Today after I dosed water went all cloudy. Any one tell me why?

I am fighting some Dino’s currently. Can’t tell you the exact kind don’t have a microscope currently. But I have raised my nitrates and phosphates. And am also running my chaeto 20 hours a day.

H202 acts as a oxidizer, enough can kill off bacteria, thus cloudy water from oxidizing organics, possible bacteria die off.

Water change and plenty of surface agitation at this point is needed. Possible O2 depletion.

Ok thank you. Sorry for the late reply. I think I’m done with peroxide at this point. It is not doing anything. I’ve seen my best improvement from constant manual removal and keeping my nutrients up. These things sucks!
