AEFW spreading the good word

[rogerwilco357]

I learned the hard way QT everything , the LFS says we dip all our coral etc..but when you get them home you dip and put them in and guess what the eggs have been waiting to hatch and by the time they get big enough to see it is too late..so i learned an expensive lesson one the lfs will deny it to the end as they believe the dipp is all curing not the fact. and they move the corals so fast that they don't get the worms hatching and spreading fast enough to catch also i noticed in there tank with the wild corals or corals not from ora or fish heads or cultured corals ,,the other corals go in a tank separate and with wrasses and dragonettes why if they dip would they need to keep them separate and need those fish which I noticed the dragonette pecking the base of one particular wild piece lol but he would not let me inspect it with my loupe to see the base which i know had the eggs lol..oh well lesson learned ..inspect dipp and qt anyway just to make sure or you will be the only one hurt as the lfs will deny and say you got it somewhere else..even though the corals you bought all year long came exclusively from them and the tank was just setup this year from your old rock sitting in bins for 2 years since your last tank breach etc..sorry for going on just venting and hoping you don't loose alot like i have ..learn from my mistakes please.

yes I know slow and steady wins the game..and I will look back on this week and say I remember that time as my tank thrives and colonies grow too big and and and lol. shall see..I just want no one else to have to go thru this as it is stressful for both corals and coral caretakers lol...
