Proven all Pest dipping methods...

[ptreef]

It seems there is not one cure all dip for corals....

Revive seems to work on most but not AEFW's
Coral Rx works on much but not RB's?

Bayer advanced works on RB's but AEFW...

I may be off on a few of these. But is there one dip that kills it all or a METHOD that has been employed to make sure NO pests make it to the DT.....

 

[Chrisrush]

Bayer works on RBs and stuns AEFWs.

bayer followed up with some Coral Rx then??

i use revive with a drop of FWE in the mix. has worked for me for years. only time i ever got FW's was from some aquacultured live rock i bought.

Thought Revive was no good for AEFW.....

Dips

Dips

I used Bayer (10 min) and then added Coral RX 5 min into it.

30ml/cup of bayer & Coral RX per instructions.

Frags made it through and are doing well.

I didn't see any pets fall off other than a few pods so not sure if they were really clean or if the dips were not effective.

Hence the reason I add a drop of salifert FWE

FWE is good for planaria FW and AEFW?

Just thought the first kind

 

[Chriskid]

its the eggs i would worry about.

 

[karsseboom]

Bayor is the best in my experience.

 

[Reef Bass]

FW Exit is NOT effective on AEFW. Planaria, yes. AEFW, no.

People seem to be forgetting that there is nothing available that kills aefw eggs (without killing the acro too). So matter how much / well / thoroughly one dips, if one egg gets through, it will hatch releasing 3-7 aefw larvae into the tank. And every additional egg that hatches releases another 3-7 larvae in your tank.

Thanks all so QT is really the only bet for AEFW and their eggs!
