I know I forgot a few to take pics of, oh well

Over all I'm seeing positive results. I don't or haven't seen any bugs on the corals and PE is coming back.

Tomorrow I'll take some more

The damage they do is insidious. After seeing enough infected corals, it becomes easy to tell acropora with red bugs. Chadfarmer noticed mine after seeing them enough times and I've learned to spot the telltale signs as well. The damage occurs slowly as color fades with PE lessening, then you might see some coral deaths. Next thing you know, WHAMMO!

Glad you found them, John and hope others will learn to dip all their acquisitions and perhaps even set up a QT tank to observe for other worse pests like acropora eating flatworms and their eggs, montipora eating nudibranchs and their eggs, etc, etc. There are some good dip protocols for new arrivals that are quite easy to follow and cheap too. QT is extra insurance, but I haven't setup a tank for that yet either, which is gambling with some of the worse pests I know.

I'm sure I'm going to lose a few corals

I hope this thread will teach some refers to dip. Even if you trust your source

I've used Bayer Complete the last few dips, but posted a poll to see what others use and their experiences:

Tagging along for this one.

I've got coral revive but didn't use it. I'm going to be getting some Bayer next

I've got Coral Revive too, used it once...smells very soapy or something. The Bayer is very milky white, so I can't see anything through it which kind of sucks if you are wanting to see pests fall off and crawl to their death.

You'll be e amazed how quickly things start bouncing back. Keep a close eye on Calc and alk in the upcoming weeks. Stuff will start growing again and sucking them up.

Here's some pics from today

:eek1: Looking good :eek1:

Glad to hear the tank is doing better!

 

[Mr D smack]

Let's try this again

 

[Mr D smack]

This one isn't looking good. I think it's suppose to be a blue stag

[Tradewinds]

So, it's not looking better?

Nice job, your PE is somewhat better, but still lacking. I think you will see better results after another treatment. Make sure to use the non-expired pills next time to be sure you are getting the right dosing.

Had to squeeze this one in

I'm hoping the new pills are here by this weekend
