I have a Wave Pump, that has a Green Algae growing on a Wave Maker and also has Coraline on this pump. I’d like to keep the Coraline, and get rid of the strands of Green Algae. This is the dip, I’ve used on Coral, to get rid of the Algae. 75ml Hydrogen Peroxide to 2.5 Liters of Saltwater for Six Minutes. Wondering what effect it would have on the Coraline.

The coralline will probably look okay for a couple hours afterward but it'll slowly bleach after you put the pump back in the tank. I've spot treated hair algae on smaller rocks before and the coralline that got hit with peroxide always ended up dying. It bounces back fairly quick, though. Honestly depending on where exactly the coralline is growing on the pump, it's probably better that the pump remains clear of any types of algae to maximize flow.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
