Dosing carbon source daily for a month was too much of a chore and the Dinos came back after I stopped carbon dosing. Trying to find a long term solution to defeat this pest.
It fuels dino. Not that it came back but it was driving down nutrients as a food source and once the carbon dosing was set in belief that dosing would bring up the nutrients, ir was feeding dino and more pronounced with lights on. Nutrient instability is the reason dinos begin and reefers reset the tank by adding nitrate and phos when in essence dinos are consuming them and then when tested and zero readings are present, its because the available nitrate and Phos have been consumed already
Seems like your on the right track and will eliminate the dinos. Just a little concerned for some of your corals reacting to the strength of peroxide your using. One sould never forget Hydrogen peroxide is a breach after all.
It very much a suck it and see with a newish set upp but I would try 9% and 2 catalysts as a base start and see how it goes.
Yes - and if you want more non catalyst H2O2 out in the aquarium - use higher concentration or/and more catalyst. It is this non catalyst H2O2 (that comes out in the aquarium) that will form oxygen radicals that can wipe out pathogens and some unwanted other organisms. To have pure H2O2 in the water column will also fast reduce DOC in the water column, hence not feed or/and favor cyano:s and dino:s
