Hydrogen peroxide dipping

[immo]

So I just dipped a lobo frag that had some rust brown flatworms in a 4:1 RODI water and H2O2 solution for about 3 minutes... I assumed since people do RODI dips that it would be instead of saltwater. Ton of flatworms removed, but the lobo not looking too hot rn. Guess what I'd like to know is. Is it dead.

I tried the h2o2 rodi dip as well…. 6/8 corals dead. 4 of those being zoas and the other two being Gsp. I think I’ll steer clear of the peroxide myself.

You dilute with your tank water, not RODI. Don't blame the h202.

I have never underestimated my ability to absolutely screw something up lol.

I peroxide dip all my corals and have never had a single fatality.

What ratio?

What ratio?

I use the guide below.

Use at own risk. Simply because I've not had a problem doesn't mean someone else wont kill a coral.

Peroxide dipping guidelines (for corals)

A while back Justin Credabel published this chart detailing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide appropriate for dipping various genera of corals. I've used these guidelines myself a few times to remove algae from coral frags and it's been quite effective. Justin Credabel's hydrogen...

What ratio?

No ratio. its mainly water and in fact an oxidizer

I evidently drowned several corals with water. Lol

I too follow the ratios listed on humble fish, and have never had issues. I dip all new corals first with brightwell KoralMD first, then a diluted peroxide dip. 5 mins in each. I once tried to experiment and did like a 1:1 ratio of 3% h2o2 to tank water. This was on a pink diamond frag, it lost all its color and turned brown for a few months, but eventually regained its color and looks normal now. But sticking with the humblefish recommendations I've always had success.

Dosage seems very weak, a few mls in a litre of tank water, I would expect most corals to fine.
