@Hedgedrew - I do believe your tank may be in the wrong section... lol.. I think this qualifies for the monster tank section! :)
+1... but it could possibly be considered a cube... a MONSTER CUBE!

Today we started the new and experimental hydrogen peroxide for display tank. Too much scratching and flashing and cleaning by fish. 4000ml 2x a day. I see no negative response at all !!
Let us know how it works out! I'm Sure Humblefish will guide you right!

do you turn off the flow before dosing it?

as an aside, wouldn't it be funny if we could cure lots of various fish related ailments with something as common as hydrogen peroxide. i've added it to my QT regimen and from the couple dips i've done the fish don't seem to mind it at all

No. I just dumped in sump. I see no stress to fish at all. Lights are just dim blue.

I would be interested in seeing your orp graph after you added it!
That is like adding 1 ml to my pico, I use hydrogen peroxide in my tanks but via a different route I would happily dose 1 ml but slowly. ;)

So far we like what we see. Fish more active. Scratching or being cleaned less.

Glad you got advise on the dosing, I would have no idea how to multiply up to your scale, I will never run a tank again without Sochting Oxydators, small mans h2o2 dosing! ;)
Really. This is new stuff. Maybe bob stark and bleach wasnt too far off
