Please post pics of the fish with disease under white light intensity. Regarding Peroxide, it rarely if ever works and regarded as a short cut and the time wasted to try and treat allows given disease to take hold of a given fish. Go with coppersafe or hyposalinity (1.009( in which hypo will stress certain fish.

Thanks for the info the only problem I have is that I don’t have the space and don’t have wet tank so what can I use that’s effective and that I can use in main system?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

What dose of peroxide are you using and how often are you dosing?

Hi

it’s the 6% and I dose in the morning before lights on and the evening when lights are off
Sorry - that’s not what I meant. The dose would be in parts per million. It could also be X milliliters of peroxide per gallon. How much of the 6% do you add to the tank and what is the tank volume? I can calculate your dose from that.
