Peroxide dosing and dipping

[Roo&Lis]

I've never had a problem with SPS but I tend to make my solutions pretty weak.

I think rrasco did well with dipping sps too.

Vokda/vinegar is used for carbon dosing. Peroxide is used for algae. Two really different principals. There are a lot of different things that could have gone wrong with carbon dosing.

I think the key here, is to know why you have algae in your tank. While h2o2 works great for dips or spot treatment, if you don't address why the algae is growing, odds are it will be back.

yeah i read this as like "vinegar dosing" not sure why lol. i know what my issue was for carbon dosing. nitrates. 2 excellent food sources followed with po4. the carbon dosing issue i had was not watching ph. i was removing so much that with the death of the algae came a nice ph flux. thats the only thing i could think of. live and learn... to be more aware.

errr "peroxide dosing"....

I recently got a frag plate with 4heads of red and green Blasto, it came with some unwanted algae for sure. I tried just dipping a soft brush in the Hydrogen Peroxide solution, and then using the damp brush to spot clean all around the coral, and it worked. Killed off the hair algae amongst others and left coralline algae alive on the flag and coral was not harmed.
