Hydrogen peroxide vs red slime algae

That's a fair opinion. I recommend each person make an informed decision about whether or not to use it. If after seeing everything in the thread you think we are releasing toxic metals into the system you should not dose it. if you can find any way to beat a pest without it that's a plus.

if there are accumulated metal problems, loss of benthic life, it will be reported. It hasn't been so far
 
People tend to get really heated in peroxide threads, but they'll add things like vodka or vinegar no problem. Its silly to point fingers like that. Our peroxide thread, including myriad pics of whole tank dosing you debate, has just as much anecdotal weight as any vodka thread. I've seen many issues across unnatural dosers, take your pic but ignoring the posts from hundreds of people and pics is just pickin fights for the sake of

At any time, any aspect of peroxide dosing is up for challenge in the thread. That's the best way to make assertions, verify some of our work. Pick any tank from the earliest parts of the thread and have them post an update. Instead of making predictions, you could take the time to get feedback from people who use the exact method you are skeptical about.

I claim it can be applied in such a way as to have outstanding specificity to things we want to target, even in some broadcast applications. generally i'm finding the opposite to be true regarding assumptions about peroxide.

They say its antimicrobial but that's not how sludge digestion occurs in aquaculture management. Strong oxidizers diluted in waterways actually cause a bloom in degradative enzymes and aerobes they don't die off with a little o2, I debate alot of what is assumed about it

If it would quit working id be more against it.

this seems to be the best course for almost anything there are so many differing opinions and methods out there it is unrealistic to expect someone to "trust" a thread or a ideal they have not personally tested i agree A LOT on the "informed decision" through research and testing :bum:
 
If enough people run consistent treatments we will have something to watch for trends, so far collecting all the pics hasn't hurt anything. its been really helpful in my own tank to read the new ideas and see some of the coral + peroxide dose feedback.

Testing is progressing fast, there are five really active peroxide threads online its thousands of feedback points

So let's write the challenge like this: precipitation of metals has to be measured either directly or indirectly in our tanks to be considered. I continually ask for how that will manifest and the specifics stop. We don't know enough about it yet, I can't explain most of the excellent pics we collect. Currently just the outcome is good enough, we'll figure it out in time
