You seem really really abrasive. It, I think, is everyone's opinion that you came here for advice - your response to me was sarcastic - and uncalled for - I asked you what your protocol for Ich management was. that's it.
So you are unable to post full tank pictures of your Red Sea 1000 tank? Why am I not surprised. Here you are with at least 12 large fish (per your prior post) stuck in an undersized tank and you have a fish disease problem for what the 3rd time now in 6 months? Sadly your fish will suffer, most will probably die and you will run to the LFS again wallet in hand to stuff your tank again and of course we will see future threads from you describing your troubles and expert "ich management " techniques.
My opinion based on keeping fish since the 70s and breeding/collecting boa constrictor and other reptiles since the late 80s. I'll take my experience and knowledge gained and apply it. You don't need to follow it and I'm too exhausted to get into another debate because the internet misinterpreted or feels the need to correct me. I'm also just too old for it. Perhaps ask a different way but only after you go back and read what I said again to avoid making outlandish assumptions as fact or putting words in another they never said.

Been using this stuff for aquarium use at least 30 years. You dont have to go with myself or Jay's recommendation but I do know time is being wasted while fish are infested in the process of trying to find an easy way out with this. The whole day has gone by and a debate on which Peroxide is all that has occurred
Yet no clue what exact hydrogen peroxide you're using last 30 years. Near me. Walgreens, CVS and Publix. All branded by them with no clue what's in them. Some say stabilized. Others don't. My current option from CVS doesn't claim stabilized. Call them and they looked up the batch number which only claims it has purified water and hydrogen peroxide. Literally read off their list which according to the FDA doesn't need to list inhibitors because it's a topical treatment unlike food grade.
Peroxide is an oxidizer and is made of water and peroxide - No stabilizers.
Honestly, went down the rabbit hole with hydrogen peroxide and I can with full confidence tell you it's not just an oxidizer with water. Soon as it's created it starts decomposing. There's no if then or buts about it. Only way to prolong storage is with a stabilizer or inhibitor. Here's the crazy part. Once opened it really starts decomposing. Most past six months might just be water and why I have test strips arriving tomorrow that test strength up to 10% so that I know I'm not dosing a placebo literally down the drain. Have test strips that test to 100 ppm because ich treatment seems to be based on 150. Have test strips to 400 ppm because I want to push the envelope and see how far I can go before test subjects get irritated. There's even test strips to 5000 ppm should I find 400 not the limit. Reason for all these test strips because none are going to be precise, this is obviously not mainstream, no probes hooked up to controllers, ORP might indicate but might not and in the end since I can't find another pushing this envelope that I can glean then I have no choice but to press on and hopefully don't screw it up yet it is from mistakes that we learn and I expect to learn.
No worries. I now get what you are trying to accomplish and am interested to see how it turns out and hopefully it doesHonestly, went down the rabbit hole with hydrogen peroxide and I can with full confidence tell you it's not just an oxidizer with water.

Just try this on for size. What if I prove out that by judicially using UV to neutralize HP in a QT environment that allows me to shock the system similar to how we shock inhabitants with dips but after treatment just turn the light on and wipe it clean? In the process that UV also oxidizes anything passing through it as the HP is being neutralized. What if one can also run HP through a mechanical filter and have the detritus reduced because it was at an elevated enough level to work yet once exposed to UV it was removed or minimized to levels that don't compromise life. However, because of the volume used any inhibitors present would overtime cause concern because it would accumulate quickly in such a confined space. Why I need to know what it contains yet know food grade safer yet considerably more expensive and much more short lived. Possible savior in all this is sodium percarbonate which at 120g/L creates 27.5% HP plus some unknown amount of soda ash. We all love soda ash so that one impurity being a good thing.
Like I said. Went down the rabbit hole which is normal operation for me until either I know all there is or finally conclude it was a total waste of time and now onto the next new thing. Let's learn. Let's hopefully stop killing fish. Only so much habitat left and I believe least I can do is find a way to prolong that I obtain and why I left the industry in the mid 90s. Both fish and reptiles. For everyone received countless lost in holding or transport or fact we the buyers rather clueless on how to keep. Much has advanced yet we still get ich. Be nice If I've found something others have started and together as a community pushed the envelope and finally found one less nightmare to lose sleep and fish.
Sorry if I came across aggressive before but it's the internet and often impossible to interpret that said plus I'm exhausted and hungry. Latter two not the best combo
For the
Are you still surprised ??? You also want a pic of the 525? Lol you need to get a life homie. Don’t @ me no moreFor the
And I answered you I wasn’t being sarcastic nor rude you asked I answered. Now with lavey the Fwc officer with him I was EXTREMELY SARCATIC but with you I wasn’t if I came off in the wrong for with you mnfish1 my apologies no sarcasm intended
Looks nothing like the pictures you first posted and appears to be missing quite a few fish. Strange you didnt use the same phone as your first pictures too...things that make you go hhmmm..... and those bright white rocksFor the
