Hm.. so, you aren’t dipping all your sps frags in something like revive before adding them to the tank..
crap,, how did we overlook dipping frags before adding them to the tank..
I am not a fan of revive. It kills too many corals in my experience...
I much prefer the outdoor lawn pesticide called Bayer.
I wish I could get some Bayer. I tried. Only available in US and last time I looked doesn't ship to Canada. Will look again.
I do have some API Melafix (but haven't used it for ages).
I usually did dip in Revive, but since I get most my corals from Thang GTAreef, it comes from a Clean System (not exposed to weekly Wild Shipments).
Also I had a bad experience with Revive. Learned that thin skin SPS like Red Dragon's can't be dipped for very long. I kill one doing Revive. Died overnight and Thang told me that's a no-no.
I'll look into finding Bayer Dip, but these Frags are in, and pointless to add more Frags till they do well (I assume dipping is for new frags only, but you mention Dips are good for a quick clean up if stress, or disease is noticed)
Anyway. I stepping away from this tank (LOOKING at FRAG close up). TWO week minimum
Looking at Frags daily will stress me, maybe in two weeks I'll be surprised with some good progress.
Going to clean up my Tank Workshop, and tidy up wiring since things got a bit messy with adjustment, but now things are locked in.
LAST QUESTION:
Since I hardly had PE in past. When at SPS start STN, does it show stress first (ie Loss of PE), or can PE continue and STN still happens.
I ask this since that Gomezi has PE.
