Any Questions about Peroxide dosing or dipping?

Word up. Over the years Hydrogen Peroxide has been adopted by a growing number of reef hobbyists. I've utilized it in my profession for the last decade, and have heard great feedback from hobbyists, as well as a lot of questions. Lots of questions. Peroxide is indeed an extremely useful tool...

That's it! Thanks so much.

Any clue on Leptastrea?

 

[Joe Rice]

Any clue on Leptastrea?

I think it's there on the chart in the Med/High section.

 

[Thaxxx]

Anyone seen or know if a peroxide dip helps for any type of pest invasions?

You are right....i missed it

And we should always rinse it well before placing it back in the tank right?

 

[Joe Rice]

Any guidelines for dipping algae infested Green Star?

Green Star Polyps are in the genus Pachyclavularia, so it looks like they'd be in the Low/Med category.

And we should always rinse it well before placing it back in the tank right?

I usually give them a quick rinse in tank water before putting them back in the tank. I don't obsess about it as a bit of H₂0₂ in the tank doesn't seem to do any harm.

Any thoughts on dipping common mushrooms?

And will it help in removing the green build-up on the skelton of the meat coral to help it recover? Thanks.

I believe those are in the order Corallimorpharian so Med/High

It seems to clean most algae from everything that I've dipped. Let us know how it works out if you decide to try it.

Thank you... will give it a try.

Thanks... just worried/wondering if the dip will kill the wounded meat coral.

I'm no expert on this so I can't really advise.

We'd dip it up to the flesh, but not above it.

or target apply with a dropper, around the flesh but not on it, focusing on the target portions like a dentist would do to avoid gums.

w the coral sitting on the counter in the air

there aren't many times a dip will beat precision, targeted dentistry/reef dentistry because a dip temporarily challenges the non target surfaces and with a dentistry approach, for really bad algae areas we can use a tool/metal/knife tip to precision score/remove all growths first, back to clean, and then target peroxide on the clean spots only as a growback killer. very powerful mod on peroxide surgery right there, we've been doing it this way for years in work threads.

Algae Identification

Any opinions on what type of algae this is growing on my rocks and sand bed?

look what we did there. not a drop was added to those reefs, the water, no dips, but the reefs transformed overnite via reef dentistry and substrate blasting.

Hi Brandon429, thank you very much... will give it a try.
