Peroxide - you guys will think I'm nuts

[Dez]

I did have cyano on and off, here and there. Since dosing, I haven't had any cyano issues to write home about. Here is my tank. Picture taken now

drool.... I would love to get back to a point where that seems like a possibility.

You could look at cyano as a symptom of the problem rather than as the problem itself. And if the cyano lives on nutrients (waste) such as ammonia/nitrites/nitrates etc, killing off the cyano could release these wastes into your tank. I have some cyano in my tank, typically in low flow areas. The only time it ever harmed a coral was when a pocillipora was not given enough flow, and the centre of the pocillipora got covered by cyano which choked it off. Anyway my view is that the cyano is an aesthetic issue and killing it off may cause more harm than good.

Ditto!

How many mL/Gallon?
Dosed at any particular time of day?
With a doser?
Regular ol' 3% drug store peroxide?
All at once or multiple do sings/day?

I get cyno in one of my tanks as it heats up during the summer. Normally 78 degrees - no cyano. 80 degrees - cyano starts creeping in. What I found was that even when it cools back down to 78, the cyano will still hang around. So I dropped the temperature down to 76 (even as low as 74) and the cyano disappeared! No negative effects on coral or fish. Give that a try before adding chemicals of any kind.

I just wonder how much the or fluctuates when dosing peroxide
