I have used the reef tank dosing method successfully to treat an outbreak of what looked like Ich and Brook. I had several fish showing signs of spots and brook, my Powderblue tang was the most affected. While I lost some fish because I started the treatment a little late, I am glad to say that most fish, including the Powderblue are now thriving. I used this approach with a UV set at a low flow. Sidenote: Expect that you will lose any ornamental shrimp such as Skunk cleaner shrimp. They do not tolerate H2O2 at all.
Thanks for the information, new subscriber. My betta is lethargic and my tiny Tera’s have tiny little white spots. I had 4 cat fish and one died last week. I have a snail and two shrimp but I have not seen the pregnant shrimp one again for a week. Hope it alive. 👏😍
You are an asset to all marine fish keepers. When ICH falls off fish would the hydrogen peroxide be effective at killing it during that free swim phase?
@@hoohaaa0 I actually don’t think that peroxide is effective for killing Ich theronts, because the cell wall is too thick. A more realistic expectation is that H2O2 can eliminate Marine Velvet Disease and Brooklynella.
Thanks for the well played out video. I have a case of ich and/or velvet. Not sure but it has wiped all my fish but my blue tang. I will try this technique to see if it works. I have tried some of the other treatments but no success
I’ve been using peroxide baths and hybrid TTM to cure velvet and ich with success. My cromis group had their two peroxide baths with TTM as well as a 3rd peroxide bath between going from QT to DT. Weeks later I’ve pulled them out due to one getting a red sore and a couple more having a dark mottling complexion. It’s hard to say but I would not rely on peroxide baths for internal uronema but it could help prevent spread and if it can clear a DT of uronema I would be super interested in a method for that. I’m currently trying tea tree and metro on my chromis but the red sore has not healed. I’ll be trying a formalin and malachite green medication next.
Please respond urgently! I just dosed the 1st 1ml per 8gal and my magnifica anemone completely retracted and does not look happy. Will the peroxide kill my anemone?
You can you use saltwater from the tank the fish came from, provided no medications are in the water. Otherwise, I would use new saltwater to do the H2O2 bath.
If you are wanting to treat in-tank (NOT a bath) then I would follow dosing instructions outlined here: humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/peroxide-h2o2-dosing-for-parasites-in-reef-tank.725/
Unfortunately, I haven't done any experimentation with using H2O2 to treat Freshwater Ich. This is a pretty good forum for freshwater fish diseases so someone there may know: forum.aquariumcoop.com/forum/6-diseases/

This is great! Just another tool to ensure fish are healthy and happy going into our very expensive and delicate systems!

Currently have a sick tang might need to try this. Thanks for the info
Awesome! Will incorporate in my quarantine protocol, seems promising! Thank you

How is your Anemone now and have the fish cleared up?.
We are thankful for your education man thanks
Have you looked into the efficacy of hydrogen peroxide dosing and it’s effects combating brown jelly disease in euphyllia?
Sorry, I haven’t studied that
Can you use the saltwater from the tank the fish came from or this has to be a new fresh batch of saltwater?

Cool. Now I need to know how many Liters I need to buy for my tanks! What is the dosage for 1m³ (1000 Liters)? Can you put fish in lakes?

Can i use this method as a bath for new fishes?
@@linhnguyen-hk9ju Yes 👍 Provided the fish doesn’t have any red sores or cuts.
@@HumblefishReef thank you a lot
What its the doses to use direct in aquarium
Look here: humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/peroxide-h2o2-dosing-for-parasites-in-reef-tank.725/
will this work on freshwater fish too?
