Question about H2O2 dosing.

[MichaelReefer]

When dosing H2O2. Do you want to turn the whole system off and just put it in the display? I have found very mixed responses online. Some say to Slowly put it into the return pump chamber to be dispersed by the return pump, but others say to put it slowly into the display with everything turned off...THEN after about twenty minutes turn the system back on.

Thanks!

Ready to give up! GHA

Guys, I have GHA, and it’s taking over. It’s gotten worse and worse. It’s only one one single rock but I already have corals glued down. I got it from some corals I got at once. I got four at once and it affected two corals that I purchased and has just spread everywhere on this one rock. I have...

when you dose to water, non targets are burned. That way above...look at all the debate and back and forth leading up to the fix tank after shots. She never dosed to water, she dosed to the target. No two are ever going to agree on best application method, so consider actual work examples alongside claims.

Imo the best place to dose is in the overflow chamber. This way the peroxide will be exhausted by the time it reaches the end of the sump.

I guess I should have explained more. I have some Cyano on the sand (bit harder to target treat). I have been dosing h2o2 for about a week now in the water column with everything running (60ml-I have a reefer 250)...however now I am wondering if I am doing it wrong?

Peroxide isn’t for cyano, sandbed cleaning is how you beat cyano. (Or rock cleaning if bare bottom system, the rocks are housing the detritus that supports cyano)

again, there are fifty ways of battling anything, the currency I use in reefing is work threads. Here is the most cyano cures in one thread, solely using sandbed cleaning. we open the thread with a 120 gallon rip clean. If your tank is smaller, this way is perfect. It works for any sized reef, but practically speaking it’s more common for smaller systems. All of my work threads are before and after sets, we show follow up months later where possible.

many additives can kill off cyano, but they don’t beat that method. We clean waste there, so that another invader never capitalizes on the dead mass of the first...killing targets by water adjustment adds to internal waste stores, the targets are dying in the tank. Human refusal to access a reef tank is the sole and enduring cause of cyano, and not any other factor.
