just the typical 3% you find at walmart for like $1, it works wonders on dino's

do some research if your gonna try hydrogen peroxide directly to your tank.....it can have some serious consequences if not done right...

I lokoed into this when I had dinos show up and eventually I decided it wasn't worth the risk. I stopped dosing for a week and skipped a waterchange (as water changes can actually fuel dinos). Dinos were gone in a week and a started dosing again after that without issue. I seriously recommend just taking the reactor offline for a week.

Just out of curiosity sake, what are some of the consequences of dosing H2O2? I dose everyday and have had no bad side effect. I dose 15ml in a 100g system everyday.

From what I've read so far is dosing too much can cause bleeding gills and can damage some SPS corals. The recommended amount is 1ml/10gal. I'm out of town for the next few days so my wife is in charge of the over feeding for me right now.

Aren't there fish and coral in this tank!

Stop and throw out what you are using and do so decent water changes.

Seriously? You think people who have Dino's haven't thought of this little gem? What works for one person might not work for another.

I am seriously concerned in light of the previous posts of your experimenting with these chemicals while there is livestock in your tank. It is not what works for one may not work for another. You should not be taking that risk
Sorry!
