H2O2 Dosing?

I apologize, my math is wrong and please don't use 1 gallon per 10 gallon of water . I was dosing about 1ml per 10 gallons directly into the tank and then went as far as 5 ml per gallon and usually twice a day for 2.5 weeks. When I went 5ml/gallon I was desperate because the dinoflagellates started to attack my corals. I didn't see any affect at all with the dosing. I eventually beat the crap out out of the dino with an aggressive increase in pH using kalkwasser. So from my experience the H202 didn't do anything for me but other reefers might have different results.

The few rocks I hand sprayed 50/50 H2O2/RODI have stayed bare and no sign of the aiptasia that I torched.

I've been dosing a couple of caps of 3% every night in combination with upping my Mg and increased skimming and it's having a drastic effect on the hair algae that had taken hold after the GSP spawnicide. A couple more weeks and I suspect it'll all disappear. Haven't done a water change yet, just doing mechanical removal of the loose stuff.

Still dosing and having great results, I'd estimate probably a 75% reduction in algae, calciferous algaes are doing fine. Reduction is very obvious without any spot treatments.

No ill effects for livestock so far which includes some starfish, urchins and two lone snails that managed to survive the original GSP apocalypse. My rainbow monti that was getting snuffed out by algae and shade from a toadstool is coming back with a vengeance now.
