Glad those dinos are on the way out, its always a relieving feeling to have all those boogers gone!Oh wow, really ! Thanks, you’ve made my day !
Yeah, especially when it’s your first time dealing with them and you’ve read all the horror stories.Glad those dinos are on the way out, its always a relieving feeling to have all those boogers gone!
Peroxide de will dissipate on its ownI’ve done three days of H2O2 dosing and 15% blues only, along with once or twice a day manually lifting the dinos in the water column. The corals aren’t suffering and this morning I can’t even see anything on the sand.
I’ll keep up with the regimen for 2 more days and then I will slowly, very slowly transition back to a more normal light setting.
@vetteguy53081 when I’m done, do I need to do anything to rid the tank of the H2O2 ? Anything else I should do or be careful with ?
I’m running Seachem Matrix at the moment. I’m hesitant to do a water change, as it is said to feed the dinos.
Thanks !
eta : my banggai cardinal seems to be suffering. He is acting scared, staying in corners like when I first got him. He is also not eating this morning. I hope he makes it.

If you are talking about my fight recently I did the black out and peroxide, but I only used 1ml of it. I have a little EVO 13.5 and figured with my sand and rock, etc.. I would just treat like a 10 gal volume. 10ml seems high to me, but you might ask VG ( he was very helpful), or re-read the thread. It did work though now I am just back to fighting with the diatoms.I’ve decided to try one more thing before buying the microscope. I wish I could push more GPH into the UV but I don’t have a more powerful pump. So this will have to wait too.
Last night I dosed 10 ml of 3% H2O2 per 10 gallons. Today I’m running the light with only blues and UV, at 15%. No white lights. I’ll be doing that for 5 days. This was suggested by @vetteguy53081 I believe, to another user having the same problem.
This morning I woke up and the sand was perfectly clear. That was the first time in many weeks. So I thought I was making progress.
One hour later, the dinos appeared again.
This is definitely a pain.

Looks to beI think I have the same thing? these look like Dino's to you guys?
Just started up after I fed Reef Roids for first time... 3 month old tank...my parameters showing NO3 at 5ppm and 0 Phos...but I'm assuming that is whatever this algae is consuming the Phos?
Its stringy on a bunch of my coral frags. I manually removed a bunch but it seems like it was back in an hour.
Let me know what you think, but otherwise I am going to try @vetteguy53081 removal plan. thx in advance Vette.
Broadcast or target feeding the reef roids?
Broadcast or target feeding the reef roids?
I was going to suggest target feeding due to the spike in nutrients from the roids. I have been target feeding it from the start and it works, but definite nutrient spike, especially phosphate. A lot of people broadcast it but I know my little system could not handle that.Target. Started in appearing in some low flow areas of gravel...and then next directly on some of the coral frags.
I just vacuumed gravel up thru a filter sock and replaced (same) water. lights on blue only today seems to have slowed growth anyways. will dose a little H202 this eve for next few nights.
What’s VG ?VG, can peroxide be dosed daily as a prophylactic?
True, but people dose all kinds of stuff long term anymore so I wonder.What’s VG ?
I would be really hesitant to dose peroxyde long term. I thinl what needs to happen is balance, and that means letting things follow course. Just not with dinos in the picture.
Lol, I was serious, what is VG, I don’t know…True, but people dose all kinds of stuff long term anymore so I wonder.
