H202 sticky

[Ling_Thing]

I was wondering if there’s a sticky for h202
dosing for gha? I know spot treating is the most effective but I also hear of people broadcasting daily with good results along with spot treatment. It also clears up small amounts of cyano as well? I’ve been dealing with a massive gha outbreak and I corrected the problem now I’m trying to rid the tank of the gha as it’s slowing killing my frags. I just got gfo online last night and my clear water scrubber is breaking in only 1 week in and def getting gha growing on that already. I’m worried I’ll have to break my tank down if I don’t win this battle. Tank is young only 10 months old. I should actually start a thread on my tank after the trials and tribulations.

However , I’d reccomend fluconazole and reef flux hd.
Less possible impact on other micro organisms.

There's mine.

A thread of h202 works and examples is also handy. It's an enduring tool, permanent in reefing in fact. I like that there's ways to use it that do not involve tank dosing. Preserves bac, microfauna etc when used surgically.


Want to relay something about peroxide and it's no joke. Using peroxide on my giant acrylic freshwater planted tank is literally keeping the glass pristine clean and never scraped. Never, don't Even own one and wouldn't on this gleaming beast of a column tank.

Nothing, no chemical can beat what approx. 10% solution wiped on the inside glass during a quick tank drain down

All bright planted tanks get green non calcareous haze

Vs rubbing off, drain top water into a brute so you can reuse

Dab wet paper towel 3-10% soln let sit about three-five

Refill

Watch over three days...amazing back to laser clear, no rubbing (scratching) required ever

lasts weeks I'm getting two month intervals

Pump the brute water back up to the tank, this method is tops for freshwater.

Peroxide does not cut coralline nor calcareous growths for reef tank glass maintenance. The best way to use it is on a clean condition, former invaded rock or area that you knifed clean outside the water

The peroxide goes on post op

Not pre op
See results.

So I manually remove as much as I can every day and it’s not growing as fast it was with the ats and gfo kicking in but now my acropora are losing color and one is receding it’s base but if I bump my p04 back up the algae will explode but the acropora will look great. My n03 has been between 1-2ppm but they really need that p04 to color back up but then the algae will take over. What should I do?
