Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) Treatment Log (300G)

[kouma]

I wanted to use this thread to document my treatment and ask questions. I am currently on my second day of treatment for Velvet, ICH and Flukes. I can't quarantine because I have fish that are 12-14". This is FOWLR setup with two UV Emperor Aquatics systems (50W HO and 40W Smart UV) with brand new bulbs.Total volume 300G +/- 20G.

If it doesn't work, I would recommend highly the Polyplabs Reef Medic. I used it on a case of ich in my E-260 and it eradicated it in 15 days without me having to catch/QT my fish.

just out of curiosity, did you do it with corals in the tank? Specifically anemones? I have some sitting by my tank but I read one review where someone said it killed all their nems...not worth the risk to me (I have a lot of BTAs)

Yes I had a few red carpet anemones all melted

Yes, I did it directly into my DT, with all my corals and anemones. Didn't have any issues.
