I posted a similar question before so please forgive me if you've seen both, but I had a couple more questions after delving into peroxide use stories a little more. So my tank has been fallow about a month or maybe slightly longer so I would expect the parasite's population to be on the low side. I was just reading about a success story detailing the peroxide dose regimen which turned out to be a success despite doubt from most commenters and was going to give that regimen a shot. Inverts in the tank include snails, a very hungry cucumber, a small urchin, and black and orange sun corals (no other corals). Since this is my second time battling velvet in 6 months (separate tanks) I figured I'd give it a try. I was thinking that perhaps if I used an IV drip device to provide the dose slowly and continuously to the water it may increase effectiveness. What do you guys think?
