Nothing really, it is just the way Dino is.

Should I do a blackout on the tank in conjunction with the peroxide

 

[The new fish on the block]

I don't really think the peroxide is working it kinda looks like it's getting worse. Any other options?

 

[twilliard]

Are you dosing 1ml per 10g?
You will have to hit it a lot harder by the looks of the situation.

 

[The new fish on the block]

Yes

 

[twilliard]

Well time to double or triple the dosage amount..
Let me ask @Russ265 and see what he thinks

 

[The new fish on the block]

Ok Im dosing a little over 2 ml for a biocube

 

[twilliard]

Peroxide is an oxidizer you just need to add more when your current dose is not cutting it

 

[The new fish on the block]

will it hurt anything

 

[twilliard]

Here is the thing about dinos
They will win and kill if not beat down.
Peroxide for the most part is harmless.
Now a choice has to be made....

Who do you want to win?

Will massive amounts harm
Yes
Will it do the job
Yes
Keep adding more and win!

 

[Russ265]

Is this Dino

yup. bon apetite!

how many ml should i increase by its the biocube 29

ive gone 1ml per 1 gallon on my 300 gallon system.

i would up the doseage to 2ml per 10 gallons every morning and night. the half life on peroxide is like 2-4 hours from my observation.

a doser is ideal. giving a steady 1 ml per 150 gallons per hour.

i would not exceed 5ml per 10 gallons on a single dose unless you are going to tear your tank down.

i was not going to tear my tank down, and nuked the crap out of them. they still came back.
so i dosed with a doser for 2 months... and they went away for good.

use blues. avoid whites

 

[Russ265]

how many ml should i increase by its the biocube 29

oh man. if its a biocube. throw the life in a trash can with fresh salt water and clean your tank out thoroughly.

eesh. thats the easy way.

 

[twilliard]

Thank you Russ for coming in!

 

[The new fish on the block]

I just dosed 4 ml and ill do it again later tonight

word of warning.
with dinos....

do or do not. there is no try.
you literally have to go to war with it. and being that you only have a 29 biocube, you have an easy way of just doing an xfer to 5 gallon buckets or a brute trash can and cleaning the hell out of the tank and sand.

breaking down a 7 ft long tank is not really an option for me. so i went the peroxide route

good luck

do you mean get rid of the sand and by new sand

 

[Russ265]

do you mean get rid of the sand and by new sand

substrate leads me to believe there is something there. many people who went bare bottom got rid of it too.

just something to consider

point is my water changes are 3x larger than your entire tank. you could easily wipe em off the map as opposed to the rest of us and our large displays
