How to dose H2O2 for treating dino?

An ngo · Mar 23, 2018

I have cyano and dino in my tank because ultra low nutrient. I'm trying to raise nitrate and phosphate, but seem like dino still there. Is anyone in here know how to dose H2O2. Should I directly dose into dino area or dose in the high flow. Is it effect corals??

Thanks for sharing your experience!!

What type of light are you running and how long?

The dose I 1 ml H2O2 per 10 gallons of water

I found that turn down my white spectrum and cutting my time the whites are on to 5.5 got rid of my cyano and diatoms

My light is Kessil A160. I run 8 hours but only 2 hours of peak intensity. The highest intensity is 30-40%. I have dino on the sand bed because when the light turn off, my sand bed completely clean. Are you dose on the dino area or high flow. I did some research and found out it may effect fishs if h2o2 haven't soluted yet, but some say they blow directly on the dino area. What is the best solution for dosing it???

H2O2 did not work for me.

You answered you question with the lighting, when the light go off the diatoms disappear.

I am going to send you over to @crabs_mcjones, this person can help you adjust your Kessil better than I

That would leave me to believe the light isnt your issue

however you could try a three day blackout.

I did 4days blackout but it still come back. The issue I notice is I ran ultra low nitrition then my sand bed appear dino. I'm rasing nitrate and phosphate, but still lookong for H2O2 dosing method and don't know what isnthe correct way to dose it.
