I had absolutely no idea Leonard had linked that up thank you for pointing that out I would have missed it lol All off the ugly brown sps bowl yay thats awesome. Thanks for stopping in anyone know how to kill off red mushrooms? seriously its got me beat. I ve tried fire blasting them, they...

Two more shots before the blue sps contacted the glass then 2yrs later

First ever picture of 600x magnification of green turf algae treated with peroxide Proof it kills reproductive units too The sporangia featured here on the before pics are now toasted and bleached and lysed GHA Problems - Bkdwebb's Photos

Before and after pics External spot treatment with peroxide From poster Patrick Cox from rc

I never knew stop aiptasia worked for it that's neat. Since this species of algae is an obligate hitchhiker, once you kill the entire mass out of the rockwork it can't come back. But i agree its got nasty holdfasts and will regrow until all mass can be eradicated I got it all out of my tank...

yes it got my first reef too. too bad we didn't know about peroxide back then, its a literal cure for all red algae variants even invasive macro algae. It is not possible to have red brush algae problems any longer now that we know the cure, its too simple to beat, its not even a thought any...

No prob just thought Id start where everyone has their trackbacks set up, maybe we'd get more actual feedback from contestants. o well worth a try!

This could be a very helpful thread to outline the differences in pico reef biology and full tank biology, there are indeed differences. To start Id like to know whos tanks are still up and running from this 2 year old contest, its likely none of them are. But if there are 1 or 4 left, it...

:) yes but thats not meant to be a distraction to the awesome power of h202 lol. did you see that sps plated inside the neck lol, makes me wish Id planted tyree purple or something I didn't know it would work that well. also, the red mushroom treated did not die, who would have thought some...

its also helpful in scaling the approach to larger tanks, if this tiny pico can take this much 35% the larger tanks you guys have should have no trouble with an equal 3% dosage run on the rocks or glass...

35% Peroxide Treatment in the Pico Reef - YouTube made a new video to show application of this strong oxidizer in a very small, very old reef tank with mixed lps/sps most treaters won't use 35%, I did it to show advanced methodology in treating green calcareous algae on the glass, its a...

Smitty its very neat that peroxide isnt just a fad that will come and go. At any time if we want algae taken off substrate X it will do it unquestionably. Now the most interesting frontier imo is whether or not some strains will develop a resistance to it. none have so far, and its been used...

lift out frags. use a q tip dipped in 3% hydrogen peroxide to dab it on carefully around the base of the frag, right on the target algae. let sit after dabbing outside for one minute, rinse frag, place back in tank. algae will die in 24 hours regardless of your water params. It may or may not...

very rarely have I seen invaders on the polyp itself, they are usually encrusted up around the base, and those areas can be treated depending on the frag/mount etc I think all peroxide dosings should be customized based on pictures and preparation before treatment.

I would never spray any amount/dilution on those corals, agreed. I was endorsing spot treatments where the peroxide only contacts the target algae, you work around the corals and stuff

How funny Ive never seen that stuff but if lfs has it I will ask them to crack the lid for a whiff!

be aware that the effects take about 5 days to register. take out the target rock, drip/drop/apply 3% peroxide from a new bottle (to ensure strength) right on the target algae. wait a few mins, rinse, reinstall, take photographs to prove it to doubters. it will hardly do anything while its being...

peroxide as a spot treatment saved my reefbowl. red turf algae is the bane of its existence, but no longer. peroxide is the only thing I have seen work effectively with no side effects to the tank when used as a spot treatment directly on the algae, not added to the tank (although some have done...

I was only meaning in the face of regular water maintenance it can make the difference between algae and no algae not to disregard water quality totally!
