So. If you have followed some of my posts, you know that I have been battling dinoflagellates for a few months. Got so bad that I tried a freshwater nuke. Took ALL livestock out, emptied the tank, freshwater dipped rock, filled tank with only freshwater before mixing in salt, then installed everything over the course of some time. Just this past few days, guess what! The dinos came back. :angry:
So. Once again, I nuked the tank lol. But not like nice nuke, like very. well. umm. passionate nuked the tank. :thumbup: I took ALL livestock out, then dosed H2O2. About 3 quarts.... Think I am crazy yet? I bet you do! lol However, I can attest that it has worked so far. Dinos have been killed (visibly) and all other life seems to have died too. Pods (what were left after the freshwater dips), algae, all bacteria I am sure, and rocks are basically bone white.
So. Here is my question. I know that people dose H2O2 (not in qt though, usally in ml), but how long until it wears off and I can start rebuilding my good bacteria? Will it? Do I need to run a ton of carbon? Large WC already planned. Not a chemist, so I do not know how it will effect it long term with wearing off or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Tank: 40 breeder, 20L sump
PS, believe me, I know that this was a drastic measure and possibly risky. However, I wanted these dinos gone, and think I have accomplished it. I hope......
Oh! Almost forgot. Any experience dipping corals in freshwater and or H2O2? I do not want to re-introduce the dinos. Even going to get rid of my macros just to be safe.
