Which model did you go for and make sure you buy a couple of spare catalysts.
Choose which % H2O2 you are going to use and how many catalysts.

Give me your water volume +/- and I can compare it to what I run / use.
I bought the Oxydator A
Will be using 12% hydrogen peroxide
It will be going into a system of 130 gallons.

At this point I'm unsure if I need to use both or just one of the catalysts it comes with.
Also can I run in my sump or the DT only?

12% is quite strong so start with one catalyst, similar volume to me and I run an A and a D both with two catalysts and currently 6% as I can't get my normal 9% due to the virus.
Sump is fine, I run the D in the sump by my skimmer intake and the A in the cube end of the top tank.
When I had a 19 hour power outage I moved the A into the display.

@najer
I just realized I quoted the incorrect Hydrogen peroxide.
I will be using 6%

Should I then use both catalysts?

I would run one catalyst to start and then add the second when you re fill it.

(I would use two straight off the bat with 6% really!) ;)

Its so cute
It really is, and like everyone on this entire Forum says.
They're just like lil puppies.
He follows you around when you walk by the tank.
Comes up to the top for food and begs for food, will eat from your hand, finger or feeding utensil.
Very hard to startle, you can put face to tank and stare and he will come up and stare back.
I watched him puff up once when the wrasse didn't know whether he could mess with him or not, funny and really cute.
He will watch you all day while picking at rocks and floating around or riding the wavemaker waves...totally cool fish.

I'd say a must have in a FOWLR and definitely debatable in a reef.
I want one in the other tank now, LOL

So, I'm feeding the fish after work this evening and notice Madeline the larger clownfish chasing Dory away, quite aggressively.
So I decide to watch her more closely, she goes to the bottom corner of the tank and flips over and flutters at the glass, after 5 minutes of thinking "what's wrong with her", I notice some small reddish brown dots on the glass and Nemo coming to flutter on top of them.
It dawns on me they're spawning!!

Here is a shot of them beginning to spawn this evening.
