I hate to sound ignorant, but here goes - what is AEFW?

 

[Gorgok]

Google says its Acropora Eating Flat Worms, which sounds right.

Thanks for the update!

Don't envy the amount of effort it took to get that squared away.

AEFW is Acropora eating flatworms. They are saltwater SATAN! if you keep pretty sticks.

It was alot of work, almost caused me to pull the plug and start over but im glade i overcame it. having grown all of my coral from tiny frags im pretty attached to them.

A labor of love. I did do a bit of cursing and complaining along the way though.

Ok. Good work saving some of your babies.

Aren't there some "angel" wrasses that would eat the pests?

I jus have te same problem whit a rock wall the detritus finish the 50% of my corals i can't move my rockscape.

I do the same, put out the rock and take a hamer ....

Corals and houndred of micro organism in the ground.

The spikes of amonia take the life of my yellow tang an now i do the new acuascape whith out rock wall and noting touching the glass to better flow.

The principal goal now is a Aquascape pretty whit the possibility to move all when I need
The same history here

I used a building block approach with PVC pipes that connect together like Lego blocks for assembly/disassembly.

I used concrete and fabric for the rock, but the idea should be the same.

 

[crisaguilar]

Can you imagine when all this are cover Whit Coraline and corals and you need disassemble all.....

This is the problem I can saparate all the parts too but move all to do a emergency clean is a nightmare.

Now I build 3 structures when my survival corals are happy

 

[karimwassef]

I drilled holes and use rigid airline tubing to attach the coral to the rock work. This way, each is sitting on its own hidden pedestal and it can be moved around but still hold tight.

The coralline will create some bridges.
