I'm not going down the h2o2 route yet but will post if I do. If you dip your rocks in it won't it kill all the beneficial bacteria as well?


if the solution is strong enough yes , or left to long.

Hmmm I really don't want to crash my entire tank by dipping rocks.

Also to my previous question, do you guys run cheato/fuge lights on opposite schedules to your main display? Mine is at the same time right now.

along with this low temps and a lengthly blackout are required.....some are doing up to 10 days.....coral has to go for this.

His shrimp would have to go, too.

I dosed H202 systemically for a few weeks, @ 2ml/gallon. I actually saw a lot of great things happen in the system, but when I added my scarlet skunk I had to stop.

I run my fuge light opposite, but that is to try to keep the pH up on the system.

absolutely i would remove all fish inverts and coral as it will take some time and wont happen over night just to be safe.tank will be easier to treat with no livestock.

if your going to run a fuge for nutrient export unless your system is tiny not really going to see any noticable difference, i would go turf scrubber if thats why you want it that can keep you really low even ulns;)

Here are some pics after the lights just turned on.
As you can see there is very little of the brown crap, it seems to increase as the day goes on. Do Dino's do that?

yes its from the amount of oxygen used/provided in photsynthsis(what ive always though)...hence the reason it dissaappears during the night:)

I don't know if dinos do that, but cyano definitely does.
