Your correct Phyl. I have been battling these miserable creatures for 6 months.I have read how reefers attempt to cure the problem by "blowing" off AEFW with a turkey baster. Its a totally flawed approach as they will just latch on to the next piece of Acro as they float through the water...

Interceptor???? That kills Red Bugs not AEFW......

Flat Worm Exit does not kill AEFW... Beem there,, done that, nada....

Battling some AEFW in my SPS dedicated tank and will be moving all sps this weekend after a strong Revive dip. Does anyone know the incubation period for the eggs. I thought I had read it was two weeks, yet the aforementioned thread here has the reefer "re-dipping" again in 4 days. Was just...

I had the same invader on an sps coral. It was a worm of some sort that was living there and would eat the tissue. I used a scalpel and removed the entire calcified shell, with the worm inside, and the coral is now fine.....Sometimes u can see two small antena sticking out but rarel;y the worm.

Great pics my friend. Trust you have them in lots of shade.......

Thanks mates. I did see it and now I really have the itch.......

Congrats Wendy on the Big one.... Don't sweat it... I have a 220 and its less intimidating than it looks as first.. P.S. Launching the Interceptor bomb tonight at midnight...... All the Best..

I have got the SPS bug and my 75 is no longer cutting it for me. I also have a 220 FOWLR and a 55 dedicated solely to many high end zoas. I want to expand the sps tank and was thinking of either a 180 or a 3 foot by 4 foot square lucite tank. I just love the look of a 4 sided tank and room is no...

Wendy, I have a Radiata Trachaphylia and I feed it cut up small pieces of fresh shrimp. The thing has exploded in color and is a spectacular purplish blue and neon green. Try the hand feed method for a week you will see a huge difference. P.S. Still hunting the CRAB!!!!!

Thanks for the offer MIKEM. They will have to have T5s until the new switch arrives Thrusday.. Thanks though, appreciate it......

Called Sunlight Supply. Chris thinks its the on/off switch since I have no power whatsoever. He is sending me at a new one free of charge. What a prince and great customer service.... Thanks for the assist here folks......

I have a Marristar 2X250 halide fixure powered by a Blue Wave Ballast. Last night when I turned it on, it would just shot off on its own after being lit for a few minutes. This morning, I get no response when I hit the switch. What has happened???? The ballast is about 3 years old. Can it be...

Larry, it looks like you have gone to the moon with these pictures..... Very cool indeed!!!!!!!

I recently used Revive as prescribed and it really beat up a new natural ACRO colony I just got. Only after 4 days is it finally starting to show some PE. Its obviously due to the fact that has never been subjected to such a harsh environment. Luckily it did not die, yet. Usually, I stay clear...

Thats a good idea. Thanks.......

Thanks Bax, I do frequent water changes and have very low bioload and a skimmer that wails. As the colonies mature, I may have to opt the reactor route. By the way, the Valida and Nana fro you are extrodinary....... Soon I will have to frag.....

Thanks. Your a prince and I'm humbled............

I have considered the Phos reactor but have yet to commit. I am dosing 2 part manually(BULk Reef Supply) and it works great but manually dosing is a pain and does not bode well for stable conditions. My first quest will be to install 2 dosing pumps to dose Calc and Alk. As to the Potassim, yes I...

I have 75 gallon exclusively devoted now to SPS containing over 50 great frags. The tank did not start out that way(mostly softies) and does not have an overflow or sump. To date, all is well, the corals are growing and I am dosing with two part, aminos and Potassium. I use a HOB skimmer which...
