I understand you post and thank you for your concern. Sodium nitrate is a legitimate way of trying to raise nitrate levels in the tank. Hydrogen peroxide is not like some chemical poison that is going to destroy everything. Now if you pour a whole botle in your tank, yes you can expect the tank to crash. From the research I've been doing so far this is very similar to using an ozonator.

Haha, thanks for that. I think the suggestion of turning off the reactor for a bit might help. I'll hold off on the peroxide treatment and see what happens.

Default Scrubber time

so I ditched the pellets and skimmer and built a scrubber based on the new guidelines. My tank looks like crap right now, the corals are only about half open. I did a water change yesterday and planning another one tomorrow. I'm not sure if quitting pellets cold turkey like that is a shock to the system or what?
I'm hoping this scrubber will help as this is very frustrating.

Here is the scrubber next to an adult beverage for size comparison.



It's lit from both sides.
