Just reporting in, I have been dosing 1ml per 10 gallons for 8 days now, tank is about 75% clear! Seems to be working very well!

Are you guys dosing with sps only tanks? I have mostly sps and wonder if it would affect them.

I have newer SPS frags in my current system / newer build in September of last year. So far, it has had zero effect on any of the LPS, softies or SPS. But I am HAPPY to report, I am 100% clear of dinos or what appeared to be dinos which covered most of the rockwork, sand! Tank looks insane clean and beautiful. This last weekend is when it visually looked to be spotless so I have dialed back my dosing to 10ml and will probably just keep it at this level. For being so cheap, I am shocked at the results.

Just to note, I dose peroxide in the morning and dose vodka at night.

I am currently dosing hydrogen peroxide at 1 ml per 10 gallons and having decent results at getting rid of Dino's. The peroxide seems like it does not bother any of my corals or fish, but my anemone (h. Malu) really does not like it. So be careful not to overdose your tank, especially if you have anemones.

i used peroxide and a full week blackout to treat dinos in my 125 gallon.....i was dosing aprox 60Ml morning AND night for a full week. I do not believe i lost any of my livestock, although i think the full week of lights out prolly stressed them the most. I think peroxide is a miracle worker

Water and sandbead has never been so clean (prolly because it nuked all my micro fauna!

)

Picked up a few frags with dino on the plugs. I dipped them in a 50/50 mixture, and the next day all the dino was gone.

Real nice feedback. In time these anecdotal results will compound into something significant, that's how most of our core procedures formed

thanks for all the info, i have dinos and cyanos, nuked the cyanos with antired but the dinos are still here. what is strange to me is that the dinos seem to inhibit macro algae growth. i will start to dose microbelift special blend, which is a source of photosynthetical bacteria, and if that does not work i will got the peroxide, and then peroxide/algaeX path.
