Hi! My two emeralds wont touch my bubbles it seems, and Im stuggeling to keep up with manual removal so Im looking into using Peroxide as a spot treatment.
I cant move my rocks out of the tank so in-tank treatment is a must.
I have 3% hydrogen peroxide on hand, but how do I practically use it?
Should I just squirt it straight on the bubbles once and then let it work or do I have to inject it into the bubbles for it to really work?
Also do I have to worry about it floating around in my tank affecting livestock and corals?
Thanks for any tips and advice!

Just a small tip from me, if you dont have this plague in your tank, be careful not to introduce it because it spreads fast and its everywhere!

for me I dosed 1ml per 10 gallons without direct injecting for 1 month and was ok.

If you direct dose Will it kill your refugium as well as the bubble

Thanks for the replies! I have a refugium with Chaeto so I do not want to risk wiping it out. I was thinking more spot treating the bubbles directly with a low dose to not effect the whole tank.
