it cannot go without saying, the reason people evolved into trying bleach is because all other containment methods were fractional in payoff
literally any mode someone could choose to battle their dinos has a 10-30% max chance, and all modes are equal in that we see.
when something catches on, a big thread of proof or no proof w result. bleach has gained statistical significance in terms of equaling any other approach people have collected in proof threads. dino battling is still hit and miss for the most part, nobody has real control and any writing on the matter should reflect that. Writing on the matter cannot convey any type of implied control without threads of the application showing it working.
we're literally wanting something that will show repeated fixes in threads to take the place of all the hit and miss stuff. In our peroxide threads we were constantly talking people down from putting the peroxide in the tank water. Not that it doesn't work to fix lots of algae, as nutrients aren't the underlying cause in a massive portion of algae problem tanks, but its furthering someone's laziness to use that method and we want to train out of that way.
its better to remove rocks and work externally, and clean the tank too while this is done. dumping things in the water saves that work, and is a poor habit for the invaded imo, when algae is the target. For dinos, peroxide is a logged cure and it has the same chance as any.
There are indications for water-dosing...pelagic invaders/non anchored types use literally that battle method if direct targeting is a desired mode. You can literally cure a tank of algae just by attacking algae, and keeping detritus out of the tank at the same time. Keeping detritus out of the tank doesn't remove the set-in algae, so its a paired assault we use and my own tank is cured of algae now such that only keeping detritus gone maintains the condition. I used peroxide until the algae was dead, while the tank was kept clean years ago, and now for seven years the coralline and corals prevent all algae and I use no peroxide. Peroxide saved my tank literally, and thousands of others we've collected too.
Many tanks weren't fixed long term, but many were including mine. The thing we like most about peroxide is the ability to predict what tolerates it.
Though cures range with it, predictions of safety do not. our list of tolerant organisms is rock solid tested, so its at least a safe attempt.
bleach carries a different danger factor, so I prefer peroxide when that type of mode is chosen. others attempt to starve algae w GFO etc am aware.
Most of our algae threads are trying to convince a keeper who literally sat there and watched an invasion takeover to opt out of that, take out the rocks, nail the algae, and be done with it in a couple cycles. clean up that disgusting sandbed too lol...
Fluconazole changes the game though... those who farmed a particular invasion through inaction now only have to dump a powder in their tanks to win it all back, and that stuff has massive outcome significance in the threads that render its use in pics.
The game keeps changing so much in how we battle invasions. Nobody has dinos beat yet, so the new attempts just keep evolving.
Bleach will continue until someone steps up w better game, and collects it in threads.
, what if I showed you a blazing 250+ Gallon stony reef than had Neomeris it's whole life? It grew a range of sensitive stony corals, clams, etc.
