Aefw and red bug

[NastyZ]

So I'm showing signs of of aefw and red big I'm setting up a temporary QT and planning on using revive but was wondering does revive kill red bug? Ill b QTing all my acros just to ensure I get rid of it all should I also treat my live rock? I was thinking of leaving everything attached to my rocks an treating everything for 4weeks or should I just take all acros of the rock and just treat the coral

Thanks in advance

You definitely don't want to treat the rocks. Unless we are talking about some tiny little rocks that your corals are mounted on.

You need to rid your DT of acros for a while, some say a month or more to make sure there are not any AEFWs left in there before you put any acros back in.

I don't know about Revive killing Red Bugs some have luck with that, obviously not everyone.

People seem to have pretty good things to say about the Bayer insecticide dips killing both RBs and AEFWs. You may want to look into that.

Better late than never to set up that QT.

Good luck.

Bayer works - don't use revive. That is one of the reasons why I'm currently tearing down my 120 and restarting it.
QT for six weeks and dip each frag every four days.
