Naka's 180 Starphire tank!!!

[naka]

I have approx. 200 lbs of LR.
I used 2 part apoxy to attach my frags to LR.

Added few Aussie acans from Captivereef to my collection.

Holy Cow, I was PM'ing and you were uploading pics. Nice acans, I did'nt realize you had orange stripe cardinals?? I have a school of them. They are very cool fish IMO.

Happy New Year All,

Chad

Love the 1st set of acans, James, looks like Longhorn burnt orange.

Naka hows everything?

Naka,
Your tank look awesome. Are you feeding them anything on a regular basis. Keep up the good work.

Devastating news everyone. I just found some AEFW on some of my sps. I couldn't figure out why I was losing colors on few of my sps colonies, but now I know for sure it's AEFW.

I didn't add any sps to my tank for almost 5 to 6 months, so I don't understand how I got it. I added some Aussie acans last month, do you think that's how I got it?

I'm going to setup the camel shrimp tank to see if I can save my corals. Please advise if you have any better solutions.

Thanks,

James

so sorry to hear that, keep us updated on the Camel shrimps progress, hang in there.

 

[jnarowe]

seems like everyone ends up dealing with this at some point. sorry you have to as well.

 

[gkarshens]

Do you have any large mouth Wrasses? I can't remember. My Ornate helped me eradicate Montipora eating Nudibranchs.

so sorry to hear this, please keep us informed on how the shrimp workout. I can't believe how much of an out break of these are going around lately.

 

[mpoletti]

I am so sorry to hear. Talk to Ace. I loved his thread how he beat them bastards.

 

[tonyespinoza]

so sorry to read that naka. good luck - i'm sure you'll power through it.

anyone care to elaborate for those of us that are clueless about the "camel shrimp" technique?

 

[kslick]

If you place the corals that need to be treated into a different tank (because the shrimp are not reef safe) they will eat the evil little critters. Explaination in a nutshell.

 

[khoivo1]

just wonder did you dip all your coral?? good luck on treatment,,,,

 

[tonyespinoza]

Ah - so just read that camel shrimp "pick" at soft corals and polyps. Are the tough on SPS in general? My SPS nano is ALL sps so I'm wondering if they could be trusted in there...

 

[GSMguy]

The shrimp will eat the SPS after the AEFW are gone. it is treated like a dip.

 

[tonyespinoza]

GSM - you posted just as i edited -- thanks - i get it.

how long do you leave your acros in with the shrimp? i assume longer than most dips?
