In no way does peroxide any way we want to apply it affect tank filtration bacteria. Search for the peroxide example threads some are nine yrs running
That at least helps to free up options, I'm watching this thread to see how alt approaches are ran, I'd do something totally different here involving three brute containers and you accessing that rock in the air, while it's still in the tank
Ideally we wouldn't cast the scrubbed off parts around inside the tank by scrubbing while full, we drain for reasons of not doing that. The right procedure for your tank has medical order of ops action steps in order to export and kill, so the results are diff than current results
your rocks are removable they're not locked by coral, and the coral can sit in the air half an hour easy but you could spray it and keep it out four hours if needed
am aware that's too much work for most in a tank that big, but it would still fix your condition last month and the less work alternatives aren't shining yet.
accessing that algae in the air would change your entire outcome, so the work is worth it and you can prove it using a small model before you do the work if youll consider the works thread below
If by page 7 here algae still grows back, it won't after the brute and peroxide trick. Our method is hardly ever used intitially due to the partial work required in the 3/4 tank drain, but you're resolved enough to scrub (minus the kill step, important) and this is rare. The correct peroxide method isn't about peroxide it's the pre removal step that accomplishes more
You are applying the effort, but leaving the root. You have localized patches ripe for rasping. Toothbrushing is mowing for growback. Rasping is my grandma digging up dandelions with a butterknife four inches down under the root, dedication and deliberate moves
partiality and hesitation from bacterial concern is happening, we have a thread of opposites w pics
The fact you'd brush over and over is rare, most won't expent two calories effort vs something dumped in the water, nice trait of dedication all you need is a little change up
Try to envision your aquarium being ran through this thread and not responding like the others:

For sure it would respond.
Option one: buy things, change water params, wait and hope and indeed these could work
Option two, mini modeling already displays growback science, then the tank is drained or rock removed as needed and algae exported and leftovers and roots killed this time, tank is made algae free without hesitation. All the steps from option one are -then- applied on the clean condition tank and your reefing approach changes forever
Reef tank algae invasions are caused by the keepers approach, not a tank imbalance in the majority of cases says big work threads. Every other algae control method exposes your whole tank, nontargets, to the change and then we hope and wait, corals bleach etc
The peroxide method is never about dosing peroxide into your tank, it is a mini modeled systemic approach first, you know it works ahead of time, and exposes nontargets to zero risk, again it's pre modeled before you begin so it always works. The dedication you displayed in multiple toothbrushings means this method will factually work for you. If it's doesn't work, the pre model will show it and we never wasted your time.
Once a tank is cycled, nothing undoes that cycle from physical actions we might take. Extreme sustained heat and cold, meds (not peroxide even up to 35% strength) and true drying are the three actions that can undo a cycle, no others past that have been demonstrated.
