Best Practices for a Blackout with Ostreopsis Dinos?

[Bells>Waimea]

20 gallon AIO. With small 9 watt UV in one chamber

I'm thinking my consumption of ALK, CAL, and MAG will go down, should I turn off the doser?
Turn off the fuge light?
Dose peroxide?
Change out the filter pads every day?

Do I need to prepare for it?
Do a water change?
Syphon the sand bed?
Put a large piece of floss in a high flow area to catch free floating dino?

I know blackouts only work for a portion of us that have tried, and I only want to do it once, so I'm wanting to do it properly to get the best results.

Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks!

Blackout for 5 days. loosen the stuff with a turkey baster and either siphon up or net it. During day , add 1ml of bacteria per 10 gallons of water. At night . . . 1ml per 10 gallons of Hydrogen peroxide. Clean filter daily as they will capture dissolving dine.
DO NOT ADD NOPOX or FEED CORAL FOODS as they are fuel/food for dino

Nice. Thanks.

Are you saying to dose bacteria and peroxide like that during the blackout or after?

Or both?
