Don’t think it ever needs cleaning. Seriously! Haven’t touched mine in 8 months and looks like new.

7 inches tall and 3 inches wide.

I use 12% hydrogen peroxide bought off Amazon. Just needs to be food grade.

Haven’t replaced catylist yet but assume I will replace when the hydrogen peroxide doesn’t get used up and converted to oxygen. Believe catylist will last a very long time.

This except I run 9% with two catalysts as 12% is harder to get for me.

I have broadcast dosed cipro in my DT with no I’ll effects and it greatly helped my anemones - the zoas were unbothered as well as the rest of the tank. I dosed 250 -500mg daily at night for a week

@PeterC99 @najer

Okay the NEGATIVE person inside me just jumped out. What happens if this Oxydator container fails and the entire content of h2o2 leaks out?

Does Randy Holmes Farley get to slap me backhanded across my face?

Many of you know me. 6ft 180g zoa paly dominated tank. Blah blah blah.

You also may know for months now I have tried to figure out why 20% of my zoas have SHRUNK to tiny head discs.

I've been thru the ringer, tested every parameter, tested PAR, got flow where I want it, git no3 and po4 where I want it.

The shrunken zoa discs are showing signs of life... especially getting no3 around 10 and po4 btwn 0.1 to 0.2

CURRENT QUESTION IN MY HEAD

About the only thing I have left on the table is UNANSWERED is an unseen bacterial infection causing certain zoas (~20%) to show life but still stay shrunken and mostly closed

How would I know its a bacterial infection of some sort?

The majority of the shrunken dudes are GLUED hard into LR. Would take a chisel to remove them and dip them in some sorta antiseptic.

That whole process of removal and dipping would surely kill a good percentage of them. Urgh.

I have just a few that are on plugs 'freehand' to do whatever with..

I've taken them and done a quick h2o2 spray on them for maybe 1min. Trying to see if some sort if infection is running around my tank

I gave the h2o2 Enough time as to they were tightly closed but the h2o2 bubbled white foam on their stem skin.

I quickly cleaned them up and put back in tank and they STILL stay 90% closed up.

Thoughts?

* Thoughts on HOW to determine a bacterial infection?

* How to TREAT without running a broad-spectrum antibiotic killing a lot of good bacteria in my tank maintaining my no3 po4?

I am FRUSTRATED.....

THOUGHTS?


.
do you run a UV steralizer?
