Soooo... I had a terrible outbreak of velvet. Pretty frightening. I'm a little new to this so I did quite a bit of research. I had already lost a few fish within a week in my reef tank. I decided to do it the perioxide way. I have one lone fish who seems to be a survivor, ( mandarin with thick slime coat) I dosed my tank with 15 ml of 3percent ho2o at 8 am this morning. At 11pm did a 50percent water change. ( what do I have to lose at this point) I also used green Victoria early am. Still cloudy in tank but " trip" seems to be feeling better and ate. Fingers crossed but I'll keep ya posted

I don't know, someone might want to move this to the Disease forum.
Until then, check out these guides in case they have anything you're missing so far.

The peroxide article does address Velvet specifically and has lots of supporting information.
Be careful!

Soo my corals did take a beating when I dipped them I'm perioxide treatment, feather duster did lose its head. Mushrooms struggling a bit but kinda the same when I was first cycling tank. However mandarin dragonet looks really good . Vibrant. Shed a coat of skin. I do have lil white specks all over glass. Gonna try to post a pic. Any help or advice is gratefully accepted. Seems no matter how much I try to educate myself this is clearly a trial and error hobby.

Hm...would love a way to rid my system of mushrooms!
Unfortunately, mine have never reacted to an H2O2 dose...not from when I was attempting to treat for cyanobacteria, anyway.
