Hello R2R,
I've been experiencing a little bit of a bump in the road in my new tank, some instability and frequent water changes led to dinos taking over my Zoanthid rock. I made a post about the possibility of dipping the entire rock in a water / peroxide dip and after some back and forth, decided to do it.
I'm making this post as a chronical of the outcome of the dip - I opted to use freshwater for the dip along with 3ml of peroxide. I used 4 cups of freshwater, put 1ml of peroxide in and began the dip. After five minutes, I added another ML of peroxide, shooting it directly at the dinos I could see. I did that again after another 5 minutes before removing the rock, letting the water drip off and scrubbing some of the dinos off.
I'm cautiously optimistic as it appears that the dip really knocked the dinos back.

After:
What's left after the dip - lots of pods in here
I'll post up some pictures tomorrow - so far it looks like it knocked the dinos back a good bit so I'm feeling pretty confident in my decision!
