I'd prefer not to until the testing amd data is complete

Some species of dinos aren't even touched by h202. Osteo specificallyHad a brief run in with Dino's when I first set up my tank, used someone's older live rock that must have had it. It nearly killed everything in my tank and nothing seemed to work. Dino's don't respond to blacking out the tank and any of the traditional algae killing. Clean up crews won't touch the stuff either. Best Solution that worked almost instantly was Hydrogen Peroxide dosing. I even pulled my liverock out that had corals on it and dunked and scrubbed in diluted buckets of it. It never came back and within a week it was gone for good. Didn't harm a single coral, fish or invert, except for a small torch coral that was struggling anyways.

Osteo can go through a blackout but they can also form a cyst form amd when the lights go back on they rapidly take over....@twilliard would be more help in that areaAre any proven to be unaffected by blackouts? Worked for me, but there are always nuances.
Interesting, how long do the cysts stay in that form? Would multiple blackouts be an option?Osteo can go through a blackout but they can also form a cyst form amd when the lights go back on they rapidly take over....@twilliard would be more help in that area
@twlliard he can be more help in that matter.Interesting, how long do the cysts stay in that form? Would multiple blackouts be an option?
Tag along! It could be an awesome. Break through!Very interesting! I'm glad you guys are taking an initiative to stop them.

Bleach should kill all the dinosHey Cody, I have a nasty batch that has come back after three days blackout, elevated pH, H2O2 dosing and repeated manual removals. Out of frustration I have been dosing bleach in discrete doses every twelve hours. I have a ton of SPS in the tank that was getting choked out and would have died if I had done nothing. I have two more doses to go and yes the corals look stressed. However after manual removal the dinos are not reforming on the rack and plugs and the places I can't reach or miss are thinning out as well. I am only doing six doses and will be following with robust H2O2 to help keep it in check. I also have several different methods lined up to replenish my bacteria after this. I'm sure it is taking a heavy toll on my bio filtration. This isn't for everyone, but I'm doing it as a last ditch effort before shutting down the tank and trying to restart. I'll try to post results here or in Todd's thread.
Yes indeed it should!Bleach should kill all the dinos
