    Dosing Peroxide

    I plan to start dosing this weekend but decided to go with 0.5ml per 10g the first two days as a precaution. I am scheduled for a water change this weekend and am wondering should I do it or wait a week after I dose. Any suggestions?

    Dosing Peroxide

    Paul, as I said prior I think it was the light. The HA is only on one side and that was the bulb which is bad. I am doing water changes, running GFO, got the skimmer to improve too. So, this is a last ditch effort and will probably start on Sunday or Monday after some more research. I will check...

    Dosing Peroxide

    That video is in the link I gave. Recommended dosage is 1ml peroxide per 10g water. I have a 75g DT and 30g sump and was think of going with 80g total volume which would be 8ml of peroxide daily.

    Dosing Peroxide

    Sunny, on R2R there is an article and it claims that it kills HA and other algae along with dinoflagellates. I am still searching the web on this and let everyone if I go with this process or not. Here is the R2R link...

    Dosing Peroxide

    Okay, I figured out my hair algae issue; at least I think I did. The actinic PC bulb is very old you can see by looking at it. This should no longer be an issue since I have a new T5 fixture. I have tried dosing Magnesium but the HA is still around and growing. So tonight a bought a rabbit fish...

    Does anyone watch "Dark Matters, True but Odd" or "Prophets of Science Fiction". Two interesting shows IMO.

    If the Angel is leaving the Hammer alone maybe other similar LPS will be okay with it.

    Unorthodox ways to do things

    Paul, I agree with pop eye observations but I never tried that. I usually let the fish be and it goes back and if not the fish was fine swimming around. Years ago when I first got into this hobby I purchased a seahorse, it had babies but then had a huge air bubble causing it to float at the...

    Cleaning sump

    Paul, the sponge filter is on the outside and of the unit. The part that goes in the bucket is where you can see it. Wwhich is why I am a bit concerned in using it to clean the sump. This is what I have. The sponge filter is on the outside of the part that goes on the bucket...

    Cleaning sump

    Sid, they are felt but they are old so some don't last as long and the water overflows out into the sump. I try to keep up changing the socks as I have 8. Even bleach cleaning in the washer doesn't help the bad ones.
