Im more pleased with peroxide dosing than any technique Ive seen in the last 10 years. Its polar opposite of dosing the tank systemically, peroxide can be spot treated where it does not affect other organisms. Its a complete and total cheat that works so nicely people hate it and make up bad things about it lol
It takes the ocd out of reefkeeping for me. makes it easy, no chance of a tank crashing due to algae any more, its like that for me.
Its hard to find anything negative about it when its been working in my reef to kill any species of algae, perfectly clean of it, within one day. I don't systemically dose anything to the tank, or stock snails and crabs only to watch them walk over the algae, but when the tank is drained for a water change, one can dribble some peroxide on the bad algae, wait one minute then, refill, and poof it dies. bryopsis, red brush algae, any of it. cyano, regrettable caulerpa additions etc
now I don't chase water params, I keep them within range to grow coral. My tank has zero algae because I force it to, its the best cheat ever. Purists may strive for natural control thats fine, I just wanted an algae free reef and thats easy to get now.
Im not downing algal turf scrubbers or anything, im just saying that spot treatment with peroxide is something I wish Id known in 1995. I like the sound of magnesium control as the preventative and h202 as the cleaner lol
