Tank Status: Wet...ish, growing things....
I don't have the link but 1ml to 10Gal of DT Water is the normal starting point, I stepped up to 1.5ml/10Gal with no I'll effects long term. I only used the peroxide as a way to kick start my battle and currently I have a few troops (Turbo Snails) munching away at it and it's just over half gone now.

Tried it unsuccessfully. The old school way is still the best way IMO. nutrient/light control/supply water zero PO4

Dosing the whole tank with H2O2 is kind of dangerous IME. I've heard of people having success with it but it's a very fine line between the right amount and overdosing it. I nuked my tank a couple years back dosing it for Bryopsis.
Good luck man

Fluconazole , reefflux is a safer bet. Grab some more snails too. When the algae starts to fail, appearantly it becomes quite tasty.

How did the NUke go? Did you notice it right away? About 6 days ago, I was putting peroxide on rocks, and setting them back in. Well, an entire bottle of hydrogen peroxide went into the tank lol, %3 though, im not sure what % you guys are using.
Let me say by, it DID NOT KILL THE APTASIA. and, i used ALOT. my RBTA sunk in for 2 days, now hopefully is healthy, i documented all the other coral as well.

Did you have nitrate and phosphate spikes ?, and if so what did you use for export during treatment period as I believe treatment is for 14 days without water change . Sorry for the late question

I used peroxide for this and while it works well, it messes with overall chemistry, mostly because of the amount I had to use. Have you looked into dinoX? I had great luck with that.
