How is everyone's AEFW treatment going?

[gflat65]

Haven't heard updates lately on the Levamisole treatments... I had one (out of 55) make it completely unscathed... Several were rtn'ing/stn'ing, but seem to be slowing down and are showing polyps again. I know some people mentioned that they had not lost anything during the treatment. Did you treat your whole tank at once, or a frag/colony at a time? I'm trying to figure out what I did that might have caused the dismal results I've seen. I did 100% water changes from the display, as I really don't know how I could have done less (treated a 20L with all 55 colonies/frags, so I drained the tank after each treatment to wash it out and ensure that no AEFW's were still around-I guess I could have used a fish net to strain through to save some of the water to reduce the WC percentage). I had been doing ~30% WC's from the display every two days, so I figured they'd be somewhat used to the water...

Anyway, let me know how everyone else is doing. From here on out, I plan to use TMPPC and QT as my preventative measure...

I just dipped the corals in fresh water for a few minutes, cut them at the base to remove all the eggs, glued them back on a rock and have been clear ever since

I haven't seen any sign of AEFWs. The thing is, I didn't do anything except blow off the corals daytime and night. I did pick up a clown fairy wrasse and neon gobies but there is no evidence that they did anything. We'll see.

here is another fw dip scenario. why is it that I read some do it and others say it is the absolute kiss of death for SPS??

because it can kill them, you just have to be careful

I know it can, but what Ive read just a few seconds can be the end

whats your loss ratio?? do you losa any of the corals you fw dip?? and you say dip for a few minutes?? how long exactly?
