Anyone use Hydrogen Peroxide for apstasia or ORP control?
 
I have been using the 30% stuff to zap apstasia with good success and have noticed that my ORP rises afterwards.

Very inexpensive as well and inert within seconds.

How do coral in close vicinity fair while killing aptasia

Madmak 06-04-2012 06:45 PM

Haven't even seen one flinch. It is quite easy to keep it contained with a Kent feeder or eye dropper.

Are you injecting them with it or just dripping it on them

Madmak 06-04-2012 08:34 PM

Well, kinda surrounding them in it. It's all done in tank. They foam like crazy and disintegrate.

Thanks for the tip. I have some 30% in my gardening stuff. I'm going to try it out

Word of warning some sps may bleach depending on how much you use. My red Monti has started bleaching around the edges. Also it kills algae so if u grow chaeto it may affect its health. Softies all will close up on exposure but should open up again within the hour.

I had aptasia really bad when I first got my tank but peppermint shrimp did the trick. I have a few but the shrimp keep them under control.
