Aefw - Full tank

[ReefBum]

Some of my fish follow me around and swallow them up after they fly off the coral. The ones they miss I suck up with the turkey baster and send them down the old drain :furious:

Good to know, thanks.

I'm confused about how having a qt tank plumbed into the main tank would count as having a acro free display. Wouldnt the worms or eggs eventually make it back into the display?

Yep they would. a true QT would have it's own plumbing but I think you knew that.

yup theoretically they could make it make to the display. The thing is they tend to colonize and lay their eggs towards the base of the coral. There would be point of them being inside the display as there is no food for them there.

I am testing out this method myself over the next few weeks, I don't believe this method will be successful long term but we'll see.

Lets hope it is.

So im an angel and LPS type of guy. This thread is interesting though, what is AEFW exactly?

Acropora Eating FlatWorms . . . A good way to make a reefkeeper leave the hobby. No fun.

A tank with coral as beautiful as yours just does not deserve AEFW. Gorgeous tank and challenging struggle ahead of you. Good luck with whatever direction you take to treat.
