Did I just beat aefw?

[Reel North]

I began treating my sps about a month ago. I was doing a tank teardown anyway, so I pulled all my colonies early and fragged them up to make them easier to dip, and smaller so I could see eggs better. I cut all the frag plugs off, cut anything off rocks, and put new frag plugs on them. There were a lot of eggs, and those pieces were either cut off, glued over, or tossed.

The first time I dipped the water was full of aefw. I waited a week, and inspected everything again. A few eggs on some stags, and on the bottom of a pink Millie that really looks like, well, bad. I scraped what I could off, and glued over those that remained. I also had some mini colonies that looked brutal so I tossed them too. There were a few aefw in the dip water, but far less than before.

The next week I dipped them all again, and found no eggs, and no aefw in the water.

Today I dipped again, blew everything off with a blaster in the dip, and still nothing.

Did I win?

I also have a melanarus, yellow coris and a fairy wrasse in my ft.

I've been blowing the corals off once or twice a day as well, but the fish never do anything when I do.

This has been pretty rough on my corals, so I'm hoping that it might be over.

Any advice or observations would be FANTASTIC

What did you use in your dip? Sounds like you did well.

I used coral revive by TLF. I tried some coral RX in the blue bottle, and that's when I had a bunch of frags die.

I've also been using zeo flatworm stop mixed with zeo coral power.

I have no idea if they did anything for color because all my coral is kinda brown right now lol.

I've been using them since I started dipping - 4 weeks or so.

I'll keep my eyes on it
