I'm not going down the h2o2 route yet but will post if I do. If you dip your rocks in it won't it kill all the beneficial bacteria as well?

if the solution is strong enough yes , or left to long.

Hmmm I really don't want to crash my entire tank by dipping rocks.

Also to my previous question, do you guys run cheato/fuge lights on opposite schedules to your main display? Mine is at the same time right now.

I run my fuge light opposite, but that is to try to keep the pH up on the system.

if your going to run a fuge for nutrient export unless your system is tiny not really going to see any noticable difference, i would go turf scrubber if thats why you want it that can keep you really low even ulns

Here are some pics after the lights just turned on.
As you can see there is very little of the brown crap, it seems to increase as the day goes on. Do Dino's do that?

yes its from the amount of oxygen used/provided in photsynthsis(what ive always though)...hence the reason it dissaappears during the night

I don't know if dinos do that, but cyano definitely does.

by the end of the day your tank will be a mess of strings,slime and bubbles again ...prob by midday

imo cyano is easy as hell to get rid of , dinos can go for months and months with different attempts to remove.

cyano dissappears for a while here and there , dinos is in it for the long haul.

theres reports on rc of people using chemiclean and ending up with dinos , one story is very similiar to yours.
