Contemplating beginning dosing Hydrogen Peroxide to rid myself of some HA. Nutrients are down, (PO4 - .02, NO3~5).

It's a little long for my lawnmower blenny, if I could get it kicked back a bit I think he would handle it from there.

Maybe dilute 3% 1:1 and dose 2 ml/10gal/day using my doser, spread out over 24 doses? Seems like a good way to dilute the solution and increase the margin for safety.

I guess I can remove my Chaeto for now and put it in a lit bucket of SW?

Any opinions?

I'm not a fan of peroxide, but I wouldn't be sure a low steady state concentration will work as well as a spike from manual dosing.

It may also not be very stable once diluted in the doser.

I'm really on the fence with this, I want to be lazy and put stuff in my doser and make it do it for me. I know I shouldn't be lazy though, Ive only got like 10 billion dollars tied up in this.

Maybe I should get out the ol' toothbrush.

That's what I get for my bout of LARS. I gotta pay the piper.
