OP have dosed h2o2 at double and triple the recommended dose. I dosed for 10 days. h2o2 is very unstable and will dissipate quickly, make sure you use fresh h2o2 as it can dissipate in the bottle. Avoid water changes. Lights out and h2o2 had no effect on my Ostreopsis Ovata. |

If you're dosing peroxide, then you're attempting to kill dinos in the water column. This only works at lights off.
If you're spot targeting, then lights on or off doesn't matter. Peroxide quickly reacts with whatever it touches and breaks down into water and oxygen.

How much do you have invested in fish and coral?

Is it bad to stir sand up when you have dinos? I have it on sandbed. When I suck sand out, the dinos just make a new layer on the new sand. Out of ideas. Only have like 3/4 inch sand left. I would suck it all out if I could, but I have a pistol shrimp

Peroxide will hurt any reactive biological tissue it touches. So if you put it on a shrimp, it'll hurt it, but my injecting it into the water column flow at night, you're only targeting free floating biological material - plankton. This is where the dinos are.

You know what I find very weird. I could do a 50% water change at night, come back the next morning with lights on and the dinoflagellates are right back to the same spot. It's like I didn't get 1 dinoflagellate out of the tank. I don't get it. I am about 99% close to restarting my tank. I am holding on by that 1%

Do you have any section of the tank (sump, refugium, room) that's lit?
