Dustin Pedretti Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Has anyone used this as a dip? Is it safe for acans? I have some acan drags with hair algae and was wanting to try to dip them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Id be really careful with fleshier lps and h2o2. If you do it, add it in very small increments (capfuls). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Pedretti Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Well I was thinking of putting it on a q-tip and dabbing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsea Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I have used tooth brushes to spot treat rock in killing undesirable micro/macro algae, as well as Aiptasia. Used straight, it is a powerful oxidizer. When I kill Aiptasia, I inject H2O2 with an insulin needle. It is instantaneous destruction of organics.

+olaggie01 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Agreed. Very powerful. I use 5 ml on my 200g + system and it has cleared up a lot of cyano/diatoms/dirty rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsea Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Do you treat the complete tank or just individual rock in a dip? If the whole tank, I would be concerned about bacteria populations. What percentage concentrate do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+olaggie01 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Whole tank. I have the same concerns about bacteria, so I add zeobac/eco labs bacteria several times per week. My dosage is much less than recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dosage is much less than recommended. I will assume that you use the least concentrate at 3%. There are so many different ways to solve the same problem. I add either ChemiClean or Red Slime Out. Both are described as organic scavengers which, to me, means bacteria. When posting on another forum, I have an advisor for my biofiltration study thread that is a bonified pHd microbial scientist. He handle is Tibbsy and we often call him the "bug doctor". On a post to my thread, he explains the role that bacteria have in long term reefkeeping success with the phrase, "Microbial Overlords". I immediately quipped that the Martians In "War of the Worlds" would agree.Laissez la bonne temps roulee, Patrick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
