Anyone dose hydrogen peroxide daily?

[Tyler Miceli]

Pretty straight forward question. Just wondering if anyone uses hydrogen peroxide as part of their daily maintenance on reef tank. I just started last week dosing 1ml per 10 gallons and have noticed my tank stays a bit cleaner between my last weekly water change. Does anyone have experience, or knowledge of any pros/cons of continuing this daily?

Pros / cons?

Clearer water I think it helps with algae
Cons takes up a doser head

I do with an Oxydator. It’s a great way get the benefits of H202 plus pure O2 via steady time release, and does not require dosing or electricity....

I dose 2-3 ml daily at night.
began this after major dino outbreak a few months ago. No dino/cyano, clear water and have to clean glass every 7-10 days instead of 2-3

I have the D model which is good for most mid size aquariums. You can search here or on the web for more information, and there is a FB page as well. They are more commonly used by European reef keepers, but I am very happy with mine....

2-3 ml? How big is your tank?

I use it to dip rock/plugs with algae. 2 mins max dip with zoas and trachy’s and perfectly clean in 48hrs. I’ve heard it works with acans also but haven’t tried it.

I'm surprised that little amount has positive results for such a big tank! Maybe I'm going overkill with 1ml per 10 gal

Most popular used that I've seen is 3%

Your dose is correct when treating for dino @ 1ml per 10 gal
Im dosing as a preventative

Hmm I have a biocube 32, maybe I should dial it back, thoughts?
