How did you decide on the 1.5 ml dosage? I’m reading conflicting advice about the appropriate dosage but generally seems to be .1 per 10 gallons? TIA

I was working off the 1 mL per 10 gallons ratio.How did you decide on the 1.5 ml dosage? I’m reading conflicting advice about the appropriate dosage but generally seems to be .1 per 10 gallons? TIA
You used 3% and at what dosage per gallon?
Edit to say I missed where you answered this already.
I used a food-grade 3% Hydrogen peroxide solution. Food grade is best because it will have less contaminants than the old "brown bottle" stuff.
My dosage ratio was .1mL per gallon of actual water volume.
Example: 15 gallon system, 1.5mL dose every 12 hours.
Don't worry, I've only mentioned it a few times
It is possibly safer to dose even more often than that, I believe H2O2 actually precipitates very quickly (I don't recall the actual time off the top of my head, but I seem to remember it being less than an hour).Ok. You did it every 12 hours too. Havent seen that mentioned before
Hey! Sorry, I'm not super active on forums...but yes, using the formula stated in this thread, you should be dosing 1mL of 3% H2O2 every 12 hours.@Raindog3030 do you happen to know the dosage of 3% hydrogen peroxide for a 10 gallon tank. Had dinos for 2 weeks now been manually removing what I can but its winning the battle and has started to cover some of my corals. Have 100s of dollars in coral and dont want to lose it. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Hey i know this post is old but i have dinos even tho i have high nitrates but no po4. Would u know why is that? Also can i does H202 without doing a blackout? Also how would it affect the corals and live stock bc i dont want to lose anything in the tank? How would it affect my chaeto? I really need help, these dinos are the worst things ive ever seen and such a pain in the butt. Please help!!Update! We just got back in town today after being gone for a week, having left the care of our reef in the hands of my folks (the house/cat/reef keepers). After 3 days of blackout, dosing 1.5mL H2O2 every 12 hours, and resuming a shortened light cycle at 0% color and max 40% intensity on an 8.5 hr schedule with H2O2 dosing once every 24 hours over yhe last 7 days...it appears there is no trace of dino left, huzzah! There is no better feeling than coming home to a happy reef!
