Dino's and H2O2

[Stege_saurus]

Who has used hydrogen peroxide to rid their tank of Dino's? I read the article on here about it, but it's about 10 years old so I wanted to see if anyone has any updated information?

this is how it works based on search return patterns and threads that span ten years running with work examples


it helps about 30% of the time, just like any other dinos approach. if anything was getting better than a third return consistency, it wouldnt be the scourge in reefing that it is.

peroxide is tolerated by about 98% of everything we reef with, so attempting it isn't harmful other than to lysmata shrimp, fireworms, xenia, macro, and anemones but you have about a 30% chance of it helping.

there are thousands of posts about it helping. and thousands about it not


There is a reason no pico reef on earth has a dinos problem, and its always large tanks having the issue though. pico reefers are not scared to clean, and there isn't a practical excuse not to. by simply cleaning the tank, pico reefs beat dinos always. what pico reefers think is clean and what large tankers think is clean is two different kinds of clean lol

Peroxide calculation

Ive been dosing my tank with 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide to eliminate dinoflagellets, it seems to be working. However im dosing approximately 10 capfuls in 125 gallons. I figured its around 65 ml. What is the concentration of peroxide in my tank? Tank is foggy but fish and sps seem fine...
