Peroxide dosing and dipping

[Mr Cob]

Great point Robert. You can treat the symptoms, but if you don't know the underlying cause it pointless. In Robs case I'm sure most of what he's dipping is shipments that come in with algae already. You can correct me if I'm wrong Rob. Not trying to say anything.

One of the key points to "fixing" anything in a reef tank is monitoring progression and regression of problem through sight and testing. Most of the problems that occur that cause algae and other outbreaks are slow in progression and therefore have to be slow in regression. Like dosing vodka or other carbon sources, such as sugars. You have to start slow. Corals an tanks react adversely to quick changes. That might have been some of the issues you saw Mad.

Exactly!

I'm also a HUGE fan of natural solutions and of course determining the problem first.

My problem is NEW coral..and when it comes to bryopsis and nuisance algaes H2o2 keeps me safe and it kills other pests too. The dip zaps it and the regular dosing keeps anything that might have made it past the dip, in check.

I had a case of several nuisance algaes last year and in an effort to find a solution that would work for my scenario of keeping both business stock and personal stock I was led to H2o2.
