    Yeah I know. But Dino can literally crash tanks. I need to kill it while it's small.

    Just got home. I'm already seeing substantially less cyano. Dino is the same. My corals seem fine. The lights came on an hour ago so they're still waking up.

    I have a 24g aquapod and I just did my first dose. Did 2ml directly into tank. And 1ml directly into a power head that broke and is glued down to wall so can't take it out to clean so should be a good experiment lol

    My tank is 4 and 1/2 months old.

    As of today my water par are good..

    I do a daily 2 part dose of a&b 10ml

    I have various corals
    Rhodactus about 10 or more
    Fla rics 4
    Peach,red,and green zoas
    Green rock nem and white stripped rocknem
    Purple and green birdnest acros
    Pulsing Xenia
    Lime green clove polyps
    White and green maxi minis
    And a lord acan that I'm thinking is a ultra
    Also some pink sponges
    Lots of feather dusters and tube worms

    Live stock
    1 grade b casso clown
    1 six line wrasse
    1 fan tail Benny
    And a very small green clown go by
    Emerald green crab
    And a clean up crew from reef cleaners.

    Don't want to hijack your thread but I figure since were experimenting we could do it together and see what we get if that's okay with you and I could post pics as well..

    Going to do 2ml a day for 2 weeks.

    Hopein for algae to go away and water to become more clear.

    couple more comments :p

    I do agree your tank is young and you probably dont need to be dosing H2O2. I'm not even sure i see dino's in your tank.

    If it does irradicate Dinoflagellates, coral zooxanthellae is a type of dinoflagellate, so if it were me i wouldn't be dosing.

    A biocube 29 holds about 26.75 gallons without rock or equip, so with your rock, sand, and equip i would say 2.2 mL of H2O2 is appropriate if you do continue dosing.

    With that being said, i guess this is the point of the journal.
